Love When Your Old
Saying for the Day- Sometimes love lasts forever.
I love sweet love poems and want to share
This one with you.
Old and Beautiful
You fill my dreams with unspeakable pleasure.
Your beautiful face greets me every morning.
You make my heart beat and push my pace maker.
For years you have been there for me.
I have but one question.
You fill my dreams with unspeakable pleasure.
Your beautiful face greets me every morning.
You make my heart beat and push my pace maker.
For years you have been there for me.
I have but one question.
Who the heck are you?
@@@@ News from Pigeon Falls-the little town in my garage where the trains still run, boys talk to rocks, and Liars have a club of their own.

Today's Link-Sweden in Pictures- A Photo Blog- Today take a trip to Uppsala- It' s not Helsinki but please leave a Dr. John in the comment anyway.
Now I need a little help. If you know of somebody who might enjoy writing a short story about dragons would you let them know about the contest.
A nice day today. It was almost warm. We went early to the DMV and Betty got her Wisconsin deiver's liscence . Then we found a little train shop in the same mall and I go to talk to a some guy who is building a huge layout. I haven't talked trains in a long time so that was good. From there we went to Hobby Lobby and looked around. Then to the Old Country Buffet where I ate too much. From There to Steins which is a flower and gift shop. Then we came home. Betty then went to get her hair done and my sister callled. I blogged and now I will take a breathing treatment.

Ha Ha cute joke Dr John...you know how I love jokes! Wishing you a pleasant day....sunny here in Ohio!!!
Dr. John -- I shall compose as soon as my life calms -- that should take about 3 weeks. I am working 4 jobs now -- that is why you see me so seldom.
I teach school. Two days a week I tutor after school. About 6 hours per month I prep for and teach teachers how to teach writing. I am teaching Satuirday School (No Child Left Behind tutoring inititive) and I still require 15 to 30 minutes of sleep per night or I'm just not at my best.
Saturday School ends in two weeks. After school tutoring ends in 5.
I am honored that you would choose my work for the prize.
I will recuse myself from the award. I have been working on a story, but I would be eliminated by exception #2. How about 500 different words? :-) I am really trying.
This sounds like fun.
Enjoyed the joke, very good.
Blessings, Dr. J.
That was hilarious. Thanks for the chuckle...
Dr. John, this looks like fun. I think you'll get lots of participants.
Cute joke.

That made me think of sorting through address labels with my mom yesterday (those ones that charities send hoping you will send a donation). Mom has a whole drawer full of them. I suggested maybe they could be useful if she ever gets alzhimers, that she could cover all the walls with them so she'd know her name and address. She laughed and said more than likely she'd be looking at them and wondering who in the heck that pain in the butt person was that covered her walls with stickers.
As I grow older, I am not getting more absent minded. I am getting more focused.
Funny thing about love
or so I've been told
that it can last forever
and the within never age
the image of love behold
Beauty may come & go
youth may come and fade
but love can hold the beauty of youth, and youthful beauty too.
Oh boy! I creative writing contest!
Hmm.. let's hope I can find the time to get my act together and enter..
Hope all's well!
Hi Dr. John- did you ever find out what grist is?
I always eat too much at buffets. I guess I feel like I should get my money's worth.
Dr John
I think I am going to pass on the contest. I am not a good liar. Ask Quilly and the Lie I did on her blog last year. I will enjoy reading the lies that come in though. I would have loved being on the walk you had today to the Hobby Stores. I am like a Kid in a Candy Store when it comes to hobby stores and the trains.
i love sweet poems too. and i love that love sometimes does last forever. you and Betty, James and Bev, my great grandparents and yes, my mom and dad, wow, such beautiful couples that inspire and makes us all look ahead.
*************
i don't write, and i'm way to wordy but i will have to tell Weesie for she would love to do this..i can't believe the mugs is the price, lol..you are something Sir.
*******************
i am soooo happy that you left the Fortress and it all went good. so happy that you are feeling better and you had some fun. delighted. much love to you and Betty..hugs.
I had a hard time pruning over 150 words to get down to the 500 ... but, I'm sending you my Dragon Story!
It seems as tho you & Betty are enjoying the times with family ... & the advantages of being back to civilization!
haha, the love poem of a person with altzheimers, I would guess.....or a very short memory.
So I wonder when I get old, hmmmmmm (older) and look in the mirror, will I too think I am meeting a new friend....something to ponder.....haha
