Spring

Spring

Warm, sunny

Raining, lightning, thundering

Splendid showers clean the earth

Spring

Life

On this beautiful day

As the children go out to play

I bow my head to pray—

That into the near future

They will see a joyful picture

And not be fallen by a lure.

From up above they will be blessed

Given peace, strength; and not be stressed

As life becomes fully dressed.

On this beautiful day

I bow my head to pray—

As my children went out to play.

Life is Full of Surprises-3 (Three Parts)

I like to surprise MY CHILDREN; like when I—

Brought out the face paint

Took them to the swimming pool

Had taken them for a fast food meal

Brought them to the mall

Took them to the fair

Threw a birthday party with balloons

Spent hours at an amusement park

Treated them with ice cream cone

Told them how special they are

Took them for a pony ride

And the list goes on and on……

Life is Full of Surprises-2 (Three Parts)

I like to surprise MY LADY; like when I

Purchased tickets to see a movie

Planned a romantic vacation

Placed a thank you note in the kitchen

Worked out, built muscles, lost weight

Cooked supper on the grill

Had enjoyed a date we’d never forget!

Sent her flowers at her work

Watched the sun set, followed by romance

Text her to say “I LOVE YOU”

Went for a long cruise in the car!

 And the list goes on and on……

Life is Full of Surprises-1 (Three Parts)

I like to surprise my MAN; like when I—

Purchased tickets to a great concert

Planned a last minute trip

Placed a note in his lunch

Had a photo shoot of myself to gift him

Made his favorite pie/dessert/brownie

Had a wonderful date we’d never forget!

Met him at his work

Enjoyed drinks/cocktails together, followed by romance

Sent an e-mail telling him he’s special to me

Dressed beautiful and especially for him!

 And the list goes on and on…….

In Dedication to SM

Why Do I Melt When I See You? It’s...

Your eyes, your smile, your attraction,

Your charm, your confidence, your strength,

Your character, your manners, your looks,

Your love, your devotion, and your commitment!

I Should Freeze Again;  and Start All Over—

Working Towards Our Financial Health

Begin with a budget plan

Communicate with partner

Consider the costs

Is it really needed?

Ask if it’s necessary

Look for discounts; sales

Don’t buy if wanted

Balance your checkbooks

Pay credit cards monthly

Reserve 10-20% to savings

Give some for charity

Begin an investment

Plan for unexpected job loss,

    medical needs, repairs

Plan for retirement

Discuss future needs

Will Bring Us To Financial Wealth!

Nature

Today I journeyed out beyond
To capture scenes that I'm so fond.
The melting snow causing water trickles
And added rain that just drizzles.

With help from the bright, warming sun
The days quickly go on, one by one.
Soon there'll be new growth all around
As nature begins without a sound!
