OUR LOVE STORY

Image
Some of you asked if I had posted about our love story, the answer is NO but here goes.   I had older pics of Gator but thru the years have gotten lost It was 1982 July we went to the same church me being 15 and him at time 18 he caught my eye in church *this is when boys and girls couldn't sit together thinking he wouldn't give me the time of day as I was the lil geeky girl. We went to church-camp in July it was hot the tabernacle, nor classrooms had no a/c girls/boys were not allowed to go swimming together, the boys played baseball the girls volley ball,  the girls could watch the boys play and vice versa Wed afternoon, JULY 14, 1982 my bestie at the time, told me, Gator wants  to sit by you at church service tonight, ME:  what in the world would he see in geeky lil ole me.  I went to where he was sitting, walked toward him, he stands up like a gentleman, until I seated.  We talked for a little bit before church, also that night I accepted Christ as my Lord and Savior.  Afte

The Prettiest Leaf one of my many poems

Image
I wrote this lil poem several years back, posted it on my blog as I changed names, domains etc With fall coming up I found it again and thought I would share THE PRETTIEST LEAF If I were a leaf floating from the trees, I would be the prettiest  leaf ever seen.   I may be orange,  red, yellow, brown or green but no doubt  I would be the prettiest leaf seen.  I may be tattered or whole intact if I am  tattered  and torn I will still be there for you to adorn.   Will you wonder why I'm tattered or will you know it came  from falling from the sky so high?  Or will you just guess its from  all the walking feet?   I may be big small or in between, but will  always be the prettiest leaf you've ever seen.

Friendly Fill Ins

Thanks for joining us for another week of friendly sharing! As always,  you can find the fill-ins here and at  15andmeowing.com   each Thursday.  On Fridays, we post the link for sharing. The first two fill-ins are always  provided by Ellen. The final two statements are offered by myself.  You are welcome to answer in the comments, but if you link up,  more people can share! 1. If I was a ghost, I would haunt I think I would be the mischievous one to move things around, turn on the water, etc.  but on the other side it would  be so fun reconnecting with all of my loved ones who have left this world                                                                                                                      2 . I always clinch my fists  when I feel threatened or really mad.  after living in a very bad relationship for 20+ years it was easy to keep them clinched most of the time 3.  My favorite scary story is  Stephen King  IT I love reading Stephen King novels.

Happy Thursday we all have so much to be thankful for each and everyday.   Today is no exception Last week, Gator had colon surgery *which turns out the tumor was lower than what they had thought* which means they didn't actually have to take any of the  colon.   Gator, is CANCER FREE, he has beat cancer again it has been a very long 10 months and the struggle has  been very real. January 23 2017 he was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer with little odds, he had a major radiation which got rid of brain cancer, then thru chemo it had  went into remission.  NOW 10 months later he  is like I said CANCER FREE, this man is one of the  strongest, toughest, men I have ever met.   He is a fighter, and a trooper.
