The Bag Lady

I opened the cupboard, opened the fridge

And what do I see on the ridge

Of the wire rack

Man, this is out of whack!

What is it I ask

And what’s my task

To fix this for dinner?

Doesn’t look like a winner

Besides there’s a dent

Resembles cement

Don’t think I’m hungry for this

Definitely something amiss

Looks raw, unpleasant to taste

Maybe it’s not food but dental paste?

Who has the number for Pizza Time?

Hurry, order, get them on the line!

My granddaughter turns twelve today and everyone will be here after six to celebrate. A beautiful day for it, all blue skies and blossoms for sure. A nice breeze completes the picture. Some gifts include a dress with planets all over it, leggings to match, Barnes and Noble gift card and a device to add to the robot car she made at the UW STEM classes. Should be great fun! She’s the middle one!

She was just a tiny thing, all soft and peachy skinned, huge blue sky eyes and a few chubby rolls on her thighs and arms, sweet, soft, lovely to hold. Her breath on your neck as you hold her is one of the many blessings of life.

You might turn around one day and see this now still small, sweeter even than you thought possible, little girl in her first patent leather shoes, ruffled dress and walking carefully towards you.

Before you can reach to pick her up, she’s bringing you a colored picture from Kindergarten, so very proud of her gift.

As you bake another birthday cake, you realize that under the jeans and t-shirt is the very same baby girl who has blossomed into a young lady. How can time be so cruel?

My advice is to enjoy, relish every minute, because if you look away, you will miss those years.

Blossom – Word of the Day Challenge

It was the ultimate agony. The receiving line of the wedding reception and the rude remark made with no apparent remorse. The red tiered bridal dress was an atrocity in this particular society, and an enigma to the mother of the groom. However, the only humane thing she could do was stand by her new daughter-in-law’s side and hold her hand in support. “Family needs to stick together” she told her.

It wasn’t really his fault, his parents named him Hap. It was the last name that caused the trouble.

We were gathered to congratulate

With an illuminated cake

A most auspicious occasion

A party for a septuagenarian

Turning seventy was a feat

But this woman didn’t bow in defeat

Turning sixty was a treat

And ten years later, extremely neat.

The gift of life is to be admired

Enjoying it is also desired.

Hey! Happy Saturday! Yesterday was my oldest granddaughter’s “white coat ceremony” at the Anschutz medical campus in Denver. It was rewarding, amazing, and awesome. What a highlight of the summer, even out shadowed her graduation from CU Denver earlier this summer. Receiving the white coat and stethoscope is the start of a long medical education beginning with three years of classes and then “on the job” training. Of course bodily functions is the Prompt for this Saturday’s ramblings, and her training to be a doc personifies the interest she has in how our bodies and eventual patients’ bodies function. Her hope is to become a family doctor in a small town where she grew up, so more power to her.

The Friday Reminder and Prompt for #SoCS August 11/18

These warm rosy cheeks

Receive peachy kisses from the sun.

A sweetest sweet♡♡

Blue sky

Blue sea

From where comes the blue

Silver clouds

Mirrors on lakes

From where comes this shine

It is nature’s reflection
