Ezra's special day came and went!



Of Course they delayed the Easter pageant one week and we nearly missed it. That is what all that thinking about Auntie and Grandma was supposed to remind me...:) Heaven comes right down to earth for the 6th child of the 13th child twice forgotten by his momma. Shame on me, I nearly kept him home. I was kicking myself, when I finally got to church. I am usually front and center, with the camera. What to do, what to do? I taped it with my trusty dusty mp3 player, Halleluia!

He loved that! He listened to it on the way home and he was delighted. No one would ever know that he was the baby in the family. He is not forgotten. He is not an after thought and Grandma and Auntie would have been proud of me. They helped remind me that dish doing and bathtaking are the practice for the important things like the Easter pageant. I forgot the camera but I didn't forget him! He is so special. He was sick for Dr. Seuss' birthday party in school but we took the picture anyhow.






Do you recall...Somebody went to a graduation without unmentionables on and Auntie took her home to get them. We forgot to put them on her and we have had those kinds of occasions all too often around our house and we don't have an "Aunt Jackie" around to feel under the dress before the show. That is where we live, so Grandma and Auntie come to me when I am doing the dishes to make up for the lack and whisper. You are going to need the camera on Sunday. Uncle Charles smacks him on the bottom when the need is great and Heaven is working with a worn out mommy to keep the unmentionables from getting on the camera. Thank God for the "mystic sweet communion".

Now, If I can just get set for 3 graduations, this year. The house is spinning!



I am trying to put some homespun widgets on my blog page to come into the new millenium. How do you like my motion sickness widget? I made it myself. I am working on the audio stuff and visuals. Love you!

Widdle Emmie in outer space school

Emmie jumped on the bus and off it flew out into the atmosphere. There was a set of clouds with turbulence right above the house and it took a few minutes for my Emmie to buckle her seatbelt. They hit the bump hard and it knocked my Emmie out of her seat and she bumped her head. The video camera came on and the monitor looked through and stated, Ms. Emmie, where are you? You are not in your seat. Where are you? I am alright I fell because I hadn’t buckled correctly. Well jump up Emmie we have a long way to go and you have to be buckled there is entirely too much turbulence in the stratosphere for you to unbuckle now. As soon as we are through this weather system there will be straight sailing but right now you must buckle. Emmie scrambled into the seat with intensity and purpose now. She watched every cloud pass her window and her nose was pressed to the window trying to see the top of the house as it drifted slowly out of sight. Soon they were not only out of sight of the house, the sun came out brightly and just as quickly they were putting on the atmospherical breathing apparatus and the outerspherical lights. The ABA and the OL. These precautions were to make them appear to be satellites to the radar as they were out in the ionosphere. Emmie knew all about this now. She had gone to the orientation and had a good breakfast and it took them 20 minutes for her to get out past the atmospherical pull and to feel the zero gravity. It would be 15 minutes before the gravity simulators would take effect, a glitch in the system which was being worked on. Until then, they enjoyed the couple of minutes of floatation, while being connected to the seats by belt. The first thing they saw everyday was the strataflotsam. The items which had been dumped into the atmosphere by earlier generations. What would their generation do about this ecological waste area that remained floating above their heads? This was a question for the generations. For now it was the area that they had to guide through on the way to school.

My little Emmie

ran to the bus on the first day of the last year of school. 2 buns on the side of her head. She kissed me and ran at dawn to the bus. She was starting the adventure of a lifetime. I would never see that little girl again, she was going to woman school!

A VISIT TO PAPA











Are you going to Mary Immaculate?

Apricots, Chocolate Cherries and Pie,



Remember me to the one who lived there,



He once was a true love of mine,



Tell him to buy me an acre of land,



Apricots, Chocolate Cherries and Pie,



Between the muddy Hudson in Jamaica Bay,



Then, He’ll be a true love of mine,

Tell him to sow in it seeds of pure cream,



Apricots, Chocolate Cherries and Pie,



And build Ice cream mountains and buildings of whipped cream,

Then, He’ll be a true love of mine,



Tell him to reap them with sickles of M&M’s,



Apricots, Chocolate Cherries and Pie,



And chew bubble gum and eat till we’re done,



Then, He’ll be a true love of mine.



Tell him to run it off down the motor parkway,



Apricots, Chocolate Cherries and Pie,



After your done 50 pushups



and jog down the West Side Highway,



Then he’ll be a true love of mine…

(Don’t wait for me today dad, The kids are sick again, My tummy’s bulging again, My heart is aching again, And now there’s no love there…)





He once was, a true love of mine….So, Girls, I do beg you don't miss your Daddy,Apricots, Chocolate cherries and Pie,You have one short chance to see him on this side, Go visit him and let your light shine.
