THOROUGHLY POETIC AND THANKFUL THURSDAY #251

 Today is Poetic Thursday hosted by our pals Teddy and Angel Sammy at Two Spoiled Cats

Today's photo challenge


WAY UP HIGH IN THE SKY,
THERE IS A PLACE CALLED 
RAINBOW BRIDGE.
MY MIND'S EYE, I SEE
SPRING CONDITIONS YEAR AROUND
FLOWERS BLOOMING
LOTS OF GRASS TO SNIFF
OUR FURRY ANGELS CAN RUN FREE
WITH BREEZES RUFFLING THEIR FURS
THEY RUN IN THE SUN
 ALWAYS HAVING  
FUN
**********************************

THANKFUL THURSDAY  
MADI AND I WERE BLOGGING BUDDIES AND SHE IS THE REASON 
I KNOW ALL.  

I'M REPOSTING HOW THANKFUL WE WEWRE TO HAVE ANGEL MADI  (BOTTOM LEFT OF COLLAGE) ALWAYS GREETING US EACH MORNING AND WISHING US A GOOD NIGHT EACH EVENING.


Never in my wildest dreams did I think I'd be able to enjoy BOXES throughout my life and for 
ETERNITY.  
And to top that off...yes there is more...
My BOX came in a RED velvet drawstring bag....

In the spring, when the 

snow starts to  melt

one can haul it away 

or simply scatter 

ICE MELT

Weed or seed sprouting in the spring
no matter which pops thru
they all strive to quickly find sunshine

I am writing this poem for the man on the right pointing his finger


The luncheon was huge
The table was full 
plates beautiful, deSSerts galore.
Food is a bore
when there is no  
Grey Poupon to 
be found in the store.

Mirror, Mirror on the wall
The lovely young woman looking at me
 was a shining light in her prime.
If we could speak, the tales 
we would share.
I'd tell her to enjoy each moment in time, 
not to rush the precious hours of her youth.
Time passes quickly, memories and the journey along the way

 are forever.

Thankful and Thoroughly Poetic Thursday #246

Today is Poetic Thursday hosted by our pals Teddy and Angel Sammy at

This week's photo challenge which is also my thankful




1967 I was a senior in high school
To quote a line from 
'Grease', it was my year to rule the school'!!!
Senior Class Marshall
Prom Committee, our advisor was my all time favorite teacher
Miss Kilby, Home Economics.
She needed volunteers...of course I raised my hand.
A bit too quickly it seems, she wanted three sets of parents to volunteer for Prom Chaperones.  
WHAT the heck my parents were going to my
PROM!!! so not cool.
The Parent volunteers were all teens in the 1940's the only activities
were dancing. This prom went on record as the best prom ever.
The chaperones turned in to dance teachers.
They taught us all how to Jitterbug we taught them how to do the Twist. 
Oh do I wish there had been pictures.  The dance floor was hopping.
I was so very THANKFUL to have such cool, fun parents. I knew they loved to dance but had never actually witnessed such fancy foot work.

Side Note:
My daddy was an electrical contractor.  He volunteered to do all the electrical work for the special prom light. It looked like a thousand tiny stars overhead.
It was just too COOL 
how they transformed the School.

In the summer,when it rains
Buddy and I get Muddy.
Mommy groans and moans about the mess
She is no old fuddy duddy 
She still says
Show me your best buddy, muddy, cuddly
