Seeing Photos Cycle
Seeing photos cycle through
As gagets as picasa
In mi casa
Memories of times we looked forward
Memories of time traveling to Canada with Bev
Memories of time traveling to the east coast with Sue when our Dad worked for a senator
Memories of time lived in this state and in that
Memories of friends once close now long forgotten by each other
Memories of weddings so long ago and so far away
Memories of family members
Memories of friends

annus mors, or, year of death [2008]
I suppose that I mangled the Latin; I don't imagine any one who reads this will correct that, though you are welcome to. We started a list somewhat casually of everyone we could think of who we knew or knew of who had passed away during 2008. The list grew as one or the other of us remembered someone else. The following list cannot possibly be comprehensive, that is, we probably forgot someone. But this is meant to memorialize those we could think of.
Sheila W's husband Bill
Elisabeth H's mom
Mary B's brother
Sue R's husband Jim
Candy R's mom
Leona O's husband Bob
Mike I's wife Diane
Rob I's mom
Jennifer M's mom
Maurine K
Bill C's wife Jeanne
Ruth H's husband Gordon
Joanna T's sister
Joanna T's son
Lois E's dad
B.J.'s husband James
Woo's son
Arlee Stroman
Jack A's mom
Steve Mitchell
Graham M's mom
Peggy B's husband
Vangie S's husband Oscar
Holly M's husband Bill

Memory of Christmases Past, Very
So we were talking about Christmases of our youth and gifts we recall. One gift stands out in my memory though not the year--likely some time between this year and that. If you were there, you'll know when.
I got a watch, not just any watch, but with Cinderella on the face and with a "glass" slipper holding it. I treasured both the watch and the slipper in came in.
Do you have any special memories?

Old Testament passages which comfort me
Psalm 138:8
The LORD will accomplish what concerns me; Thy lovingkindness, O LORD, is everlasting; Do not forsake the works of Thy hands.
The LORD will--what a sweet assurance.
Psalm 4:8
In peace I will both lie down and sleep, for Thou alone, O LORD, dost make me to dwell in safety.
Thou alone--what better guarantees peace for the night?
The LORD will accomplish what concerns me; Thy lovingkindness, O LORD, is everlasting; Do not forsake the works of Thy hands.
The LORD will--what a sweet assurance.
Psalm 4:8

Thou alone--what better guarantees peace for the night?

An Impulsive Journey
An Impulsive Journey
An impulsive journey we sometimes take,
Engaging dangers so bold, ignoring meekness,
Rampaging, rather, too often alone,
Making our way to dangers zone
We rollick and frolic and chatter,
Thinking our words and actions won't matter,
While enemies dressed as friends woo
In thoughtlessness we agree to do
Whatever, and by our own pride are caught
Because prayer did not encompass thought.
Ahead we go as if none can bring us harm
And in this thinking ignore any alarm
Boldly, impulsive, we play
Whiling away night and day,
Impulsive and thoughtless we fall
Into best set trap of all.
Suddenly--or so we think it--
We are caught, helpless, can't wink it
Away, regret all that play,
Come at last to judgment's day.
Regret? Yes, in plural that we have
And yet could we find a way to lave
Our foolish acts
Again we'd make unwise compacts.
It's just as well we end our traveling
Before our life's unraveling,
Take rather the humble path as directed
By the will of the One Good God.
[10 June 2008; on reading certain Anglo-Saxon and Middle Age authors]

valuing
Too many treasures to sort and to store;
Can I give away some more?
Too many treasures from this source and the other;
Was this from mother in law or mother?
Too many treasures to deal with today;
I think instead I'll write--that's play.
