Saturday Funny
Absolutely Brilliant Household Tip
Always keep several get well cards on the mantle...
so if unexpected guests arrive, they will think you've been sick and unable to clean.
Now this is right up my alley. I hate to clean house! It gets dirty again the very next day.. especially that dusting!!!
Have a great day!
PS: Today would have been my parents 61st wedding anniversary (I think that is right). I hope they are celebrating together wherever they may be. I still love this poem I read at my mom's memorial service:
That’s about it for now. I’m off to dance in the clouds,
sing at the end of the rainbow and travel at the speed of thought. When you least expect it, I’ll pay you a visit.
Please do not stand at my grave and weep. I am not there, I do not sleep. I am a thousand winds that blow. I am the diamond glints on snow. I am the sunlight on ripened grain. I am the gentle autumn’s rain.
When you awaken in the morning’s hush, I am the swift uplifting rush of quiet birds in circled flight. I am the soft stars that shine at night. Please do not stand at my grave and cry. I am not there, I did not die.

I don't know whether to laugh or cry.
I've always liked Maxine. Great tip.
I haven't lost my parents, yet, but they are in the process of moving here so I, their only child, can take care of them. I'm happy they will be here, but it saddens me when I think what it means.

Loving the get well cards tip. I think I'll make some by hand so everyone can see just how poorly I've been.

I woke up thinking about their anniversary and am so happy we were able to give them such a beautiful 50th anniversary party. Love that poem--it's seems impossible they've been gone as long as they have. =(
thanks for all the posts you do honoring all the family members' special days.

Do not stand at my grave and weep is a poem written by Mary Elizabeth Frye. Although the origin of the poem was disputed until later in her life, Mary Frye's authorship was confirmed in 1998 after research by Abigail Van Buren, a newspaper columnist.
