IT FIT!!! Surprise for me?







I could wear last year's Easter dress. Not comfortably, but, after I held my tummy in, I could still Praise the Lord, when God's praises were sung. Halleluia!

They sang all of the most precious praise hymns and songs. "We shall behold him!" etc. Dad used to say, "This is you guy's high holy day, Did you pitch, Jayne?" You better believe I did, I would say back. Jesus is worthy! We would laugh at the thought, but it was true. I was crazy for Jesus and the worship of God is wonderful. He knew that. and it was our private, not so private joke.

This year, I was slow getting up. I couldn't motivate myself. Still a little sore from the week's earlier workouts, I guess.
The food, A leg of lamb, potatoes alfredo, macaroni and cheese, brocolli and chocolate pound cake for desert. I am tired of food now! This is our family feast, remembering that Jesus is risen indeed. Pastor Loran preached heaven into view, after a week of battling the principalities and powers; It is essential to remember that God is good.

We giggled alot, before church, imagining Miss Piggy coming to our church on Easter Sunday today. Since we were dressed like her, we were laughing at ourselves. We imagined that she danced so hard that she fell out of the balcony and swung on the microphone cords and landed on top of Kermy, who was singing in the choir this Sunday. It was a hilarious Easter imagination. We had sobered by the time we got to church, but it was nice to laugh about the fun that we do have, in joy and in sobriety. Christ is risen. I did look alot like Miss Piggy in that dress. I'd better go on a diet.

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.
