Happy Graduation to All!!! Of 2026!!!πŸ˜‰πŸ˜ŠπŸ˜



This above, is a photo I took recently... and this poem, I wrote in 1986... when I graduated PHS...and I'm hoping to see many this year in our 40th Reunion 😊

The Graduation Poem

The friendship we share today is true,
Though tomorrow is whose to say;
When we leave this little town of ours
And go our separate ways.
Both tears and laughter we have shared
Yet we have many songs left to sing
But when it's over and we say goodbye
I wish for you these things: 
To see the wonder of the sunrise
Have your heart beat the rhythm of the rain
To have a day that brings to you
Tears of joy not pain.
To see the twinkle in the stars at night
And the glitter of the morning dew.
To feel the happiness of being the child
That will always be inside of you.
To find the freedom to be yourself
To snooze beneath the shade of trees,
With only the whistling of the birds above
And the gentle whisper of a summer's breeze.
To feel the magic of a moonlit sky
To find a lover in a friend
And to find your happiness along the way
And just not at the rainbow's end.

Something I Wrote in May of '93...¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Happy Mother's Day, To All MOMS!!!



          Yes, I did this photo of the cloud above... since I've taken so many photos of clouds and planning on using them as the background on each page of my kids' book... and may do a cloud picture book at some point ¯\_(ツ)_/¯  

          Also, since I've done a lot on here; though my part time job, has so many changes, and I am only making ~half what I used to make in the past years ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ is why I truly hope to get paid on hereπŸ™.  

          It's easy to just tap the DONATE key on the 





As a friend told me... years ago... MOM stands for: Multitasking Overlooked Miracle!!!πŸ˜πŸ˜‚πŸ˜ƒπŸ˜‰




     Since it is now, 2026... I am still stunned, now and then...

This Was From More Than 40 Years Ago! My Remake of "'Twas The Night Before Christmas"!!! & MORE πŸ˜‰πŸ˜Š


All those years ago...πŸ˜‰

     I wrote this in the spring of 1983... I was in 9th grade, the last year of Jackson Junior High!  

     Aka Freshman Year, when I was 15.  I was a Pin Pal, (with 7 other girls, & a very nice Sponsor)~ supporter for the Generals Wrestling Team ~26 boys; of  1982-1983, Jackson Jr. High, in Vienna, WV!

     

     So, since I've been writing since I was very young, have a degree in journalism; am working on books, & a screenplay; & have written ~500 posts, ~40 recipes...most are photos I've done & more on here, is why I appreciate $ contributions...

                                                                                  right over here....... πŸ˜ŠπŸ˜‰πŸ˜~~~~~~~>    

     

     I just recently found this in a box with lots of letters, photos, and other fun items of the past.  Brings back great memories, that makes me smile and laugh!!!

     

     Hope it does the same for you!πŸ™


I took this photo, a few months ago... may do a Cloud Photo Book, some day ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Renaissance Rebunzzle! The Wonders of Renaissance!



Happy Birthday to William Shatner!!!  His birthday is on March 22! 

     He is so nice!  When I managed an Italian restaurant in LA, in 2002, he and his wife came in just a bit earlier, to see if we could serve them before the dinner schedule began.  I stated, I was pretty sure, but I needed to check with the chef.  Long story short, the chef, Ace agreed, and we served them, before our dinner time began.  

     Mr. Shatner thanked me, and insisted on giving me a $50 bill, because he stated it was thanks to me, he and his wife got to enjoy a wonderful, delicious dinner, without people (fans) chiming in.  He and his wife were so friendly and nice! 

     Considering he's now 95; but still SO KIND! 

     I added this bit, because I think it's a contributing action to Renaissance!  

     Thank you, William Shatner! 

     Now y'all can read on...
