When Day Touches Night

When Day Touches Night

When day touches night

I will see you again

For our worlds

Side by side, do exist

When hearts beat fast

You know it is true

Our lips just yearn

To be kissed.

For this is what heaven

Was meant to be

When day touches night

Our sweet reverie.

'Bandy the Elf'

'Bandy the Elf'

A little elf named Bandy lived in a big hollowed out tree

He nestled in and felt safe.

His only friends were six little bugs.

Charlie, Chancy, Carlos, Carper, Chio and Chad.

They were always having fun.

Then one day, in flew a big Lady Bug.

She was carrying a strange thing that looked like a branch.

She came in and looked around.

She said, "This place is disgusting"

It needs to be cleaned up!"

Bandy and his friends looked at each other in wonder.

She waved the branch around and suddenly everything

inside of the tree was sparkling clean.

She waved it again and they smelled something good cooking

in the oven of their black stove.

The Lady bug told Bandy to take it out and put it on the table.

It was a delicious apple pie.

It was bubbling hot.

She invited them to sit d own and enjoy it.

So they did.

Mmm it was so delicious.

She looked around and waved the stick again.

Six little beds appeared.

The bugs had always slept with Bandy but now

they had their own beds. They were really cute little beds.

The lady bug said, You must be bored living in the woods.

She waved the stick again and suddenly near the edge of the

woods appeared a giant Mall. She swooshed it once more and

they were all in the Mall, astonished to see so many people!

The people were shopping and had strange hypnotic looks in

their eyes. They bumped into each other with all of their packages.

The Lady Bug smiled with satisfaction. The bugs climbed up

Bandy's arm and sat on his shoulder. They were terrified.

So was Bandy. He went to the edge of the wide space and started

running as fast as he could. People nearly stepped on him. He

just kept running. He ran out the door and through the parking lot,

into the woods until he was home in his hollow tree.

He locked the door behind him. The bugs were breathing hard too

but were so glad to be home. The remains of the pie was still on the

table but they just wanted to rest.

They all climbed as near as they could get to Bandy's neck, still quivering

from their experience.

They fell asleep..

Bandy and the bugs finished the pie the next morning

They kept their house clean hoping the Lady bug would never come back.

She never did.

Moral: Keep your house clean or you might end up at the Mall.

Cooking Fail

Cooking Fail

OK...I seldom make an error in cooking as I have

been cooking since I was five...That was 72 years

ago.

Today I was going to make my favorite chocolate

chip cookies. Usually I use room temperature butter

but since I was in a hurry and I hadn't remembered to

take it out, I melted two sticks in a pan. Forgot to

turn the fire off and I had some red hot butter but it

hadn't scorched. (first miracle).

So in order to cool it off, I decided to add the white and the brown

sugar to it. Hmmm...that wasn't a good idea as it kinda crystallized.

Ok...moving forward I mixed the two eggs, salt, baking powder and

soda and vanilla in another bowl. (I never follow mixing directions)

By then, the butter had cooled pretty much so I added it to the egg mixture.

Then I added 3 cups of oatmeal flour. Oh boy...the batter didn't look right.

I added one cup of white flour and the batter still didn't look right so I added

an extra cup of oatmeal flour. Now it was really hard to mix but I persevered

and added the chocolate and pecans. I was thinking I was wasting a lot of

expensive ingredients. The cookies looked very shiny...(greasy) but I popped

them into the oven for 16 minutes.

VIOLA...they turned out better than ever. Can you believe it?

Lesson....never give up until the "fat lady BAKES"

:)

Evil Dragon

Evil Dragon

You can not see them

Clearly, 'till they've

Got you at death's door.

They have seven ugly heads

What's more!

One to suck

The sparkle from your eyes

One to cement your heart

To stillness with the lies

One to paralyze your spine

A prisoner to make

One with open mouth

To take,and take and, take!

One who changes

Colors every day

One who never listens

To anything you say

One who pretends

For greed's pure sake

The dynamite did lay

They couldn't get

Your strong right arm

And when your brain did wake

The sword of truth

In one quick swipe

The seven heads did take.

You cried

At such a wasted life

God cradled you next Morn

In whispered loving words He said

Dear one, you're now reborn.

Fools Rush In!

Fools Rush In!

(updated)

This is a very long video showing the progress

of how so many are now thinking drugs

are necessary for almost every human emotion.

There are some cases where I believe drugs

are the only answer when the situation has

gone beyond rest and rationale.

Watch and judge for yourself.

I was shocked.

(over 40,000 people a year die from prescribed drugs)

Good Grief!
