namely our pets.

As I look around my home and yard, I am truly thankful for

everything God has given to me.

My wish is that all of my loved ones will always have the faith

that has seen me through for over 76 years.

Surrounded by God's love , I celebrate the birth of His Son,

Jesus Christ, my Saviour.

Nipple Massage

Nipple Massage

Ladies! Gently massaging your nipples for a few minutes before sleeping

relaxes you, moves lymph, seems to stimulate uterus and stops

dryness of the vagina. I recently heard that it stimulates memory

but I haven't noticed that.

A True Story~The Burnt Butt

A True Story~The Burnt Butt

When I was five, I lived in a big house

that was heated by a furnace with a heavy

metal grate on the living room floor,

that we all huddled over during the

coldest winter days.

The year was 1939.

One morning I woke up and felt so cold

even though Daddy had covered me with

extra blankets and some heavy coats.

Daddy would "bank" the fire at night, but it

never lasted until morning.

I could smell the fire burning in the furnace

at last, so I dug my way out of the heavy

covers and ran to the living room to get warm.

My little nightie had crawled up to my chest

as I got out of bed so I really felt cold.

I ran as fast as I could to the furnace, slipped

and fell as my foot touched the RED hot grate.

I landed on my bare butt right on that grate and got

"Branded". OH, it hurt so badly. I rolled off

and screamed. My Mom woke up and they

got the old Model T car started and took me to

the doctor. I could tell that my parents and the

doctor were holding back laughter when they looked

at my poor little branded butt. I didn't think it was

a bit funny! I had to sleep on my stomach for a week.

I approached the furnace grate slowly from that time

forward.

'Nightmare'

'Nightmare'

Last night I dreamed that I was

stuck inside of a computer

program. I felt like I was in

a coffin and could hardly breathe.

I was terrified. I could just move

my hands a little that were pinned

along each side. I had my cell phone

in one hand so I sent a text

message to a friend with my

password and begged him to type it

in and let me out. He was near his

computer so he did, and somehow it worked.

I was so relieved! I think that is a message

that maybe I am on the computer too much.

OR, it could have been that movie on Channel

Two about pythons squeezing alligators to death

that had something to do with it. I can't

stand snakes so I don't know why I watched part

of it.

'Void'

'Void'

When you run out of love...

Nothing matters.

You just float in a fog of grey.

Observing bits and pieces

Of life as it comes your way.

You have nothing to give

Or to offer

Existing is all you can do

Your energy used just for breathing,

A preview of death...while you're you.

'The Slippery Six'

Six little mouths

To nurse

Day and night

That later would criticize

Sass you with spite.

Six little bottoms

to diaper

And train

And paddle in order

to reach every brain.

Twelve feet to shoe

Twelve hands to mitten

And I know we had

At least one kitten.

Not to mention

Parties...dogs and friends

Enough to give

A Mom

The bends...

Then six bratty teenagers

I won't go into it

Your reward soon after?

You got to babysit!

Then six mature adults

Were we

Of which there's

Still some doubt.

For still we fight

Complain and carp

And sometimes even pout!

Take heart! You've reached

That age at last

Be content..relaxed..even lazy

Since you only have 28

Grandchildren here

To slowly drive

You Crazy!

P.S. (Happy) Mothers Day Mom

As one tired Mom..fast approaching forty

With only "threeofem" all I can ask is:

"HOW DID YOU DO IT?"

With Love,

Brat #5

(Definition of Slippery)

Tending to cause slipping or sliding

Likely to slip away or escape...Not to be

depended upon...fickle..shifty..tricky

or deceitful......Unstable and insecure.

'Life's Rain Forest'

'Life's Rain Forest'

Enraptured ....entwined

Feeling his soft underside

Against my flesh.

His vice like strength

Squeezing the life from me

I was his prey...deceived

and now unable to free myself.

If you are lost and lonely

And very young

Beware of the snake

With the slippery tongue.

'The Challenge'

'The Challenge'

I could climb any mountain

But I might fall

I could swim any ocean

But I might drown

I could fight any war

But I might die

So I'll sit here instead

And contemplate why....

'Eruption'

'Eruption'

Hate like Lava

Bubbles up

Into my brain

A volcanic inferno

Memories of

Resentments

Offenses

Hurts

Up and over

Scalding

My tears

Burning

up my soul.
