I used to cry for

I used to cry for David and Greg everytime I heard this song. Yesterday I realized that now I was crying for Paul and I.

100 years.

I'm 15 for a moment
Caught in between 10 and 20
And I'm just dreaming
Counting the ways to where you are
I'm 22 for a moment
She feels better than ever
And we're on fire
Making our way back from Mars
15 there's still time for you
Time to buy and time to lose
15, there's never a wish better than this
When you only got 100 years to live
I'm 33 for a moment
Still the man, but you see I'm a they
A kid on the way
A family on my mind
I'm 45 for a moment
The sea is high
And I'm heading into a crisis
Chasing the years of my life
15 there's still time for you
Time to buy,
Time to lose yourself
Within a morning star
15 I'm all right with you
15, there's never a wish better than this
When you only got 100 years to live
Half time goes by
Suddenly you’re wise
Another blink of an eye
67 is gone
The sun is getting high
We're moving on...
I'm 99 for a moment
Dying for just another moment
And I'm just dreaming
Counting the ways to where you are
15 there's still time for you
22 I feel her too
33 you’re on your way
Every day's a new day...
15 there's still time for you
Time to buy and time to choose
Hey 15, there's never a wish better than this
When you only got 100 years to live

Week in pictures

Snuggling with Olivia
Bunny butt


Homemade, fresh baked olive bread, minus the first slices.



A new pillow I made for the sofa















Our apple tree




Tulip tree









And tulip garden










Plus the flowers I saved from the frost. But finally I believe the weather agrees that spring is here!






And finally a poem that I heard the other day, unfortunately it rings very true.

'The Drunken Driver Has the Right Of Way'by Ethan Coen
The loudest have the final say,
The wanton win, the rash hold sway,
The realist's rules of order say
The drunken driver has the right of way.
The Kubla Khan can butt in line;
The biggest brute can take what's mine;
When heavyweights break wind, that's fine;
No matter what a judge might say,
The drunken driver has the right of way.
The guiltiest feel free of guilt;
Who care not, bloom; who worry, wilt;
Plans better laid are rarely built
For forethought seldom wins the day;
The drunken driver has the right of way.
The most attentive and unfailing
Carefulness is unavailing
Wheresoever fools are flailing;
Wisdom there is held at bay;
The drunken driver has the right of way.
De jure is de facto's slave;
The most foolhardy beat the brave;
Brass routs restraint;
low lies high's grave;
When conscience leads you, it's astray;
The drunken driver has the right of way.
It's only the naivest who'llDeny this, that the reckless rule;
When facing an oncoming fool
The practiced and sagacious say
Watch out — one side — look sharp — gang way.
However much you plan and pray,
Alas, alack, tant pis, oy vey,
Now — heretofore — til Judgment Day,
The drunken driver has the right of way.

It's easy to have a























It's easy to have a good time when you're with people you not only love with all of your heart but are also your best friends. Even if it is a freezing night at the baseball park. Happy Birthday to our baby girl Hali!

I had an email from

I had an email from an old friend on facebook today. She commented on how she remembers Gaga and how I've been decorating cakes and cookies as long as she's known me.

I love the thought of how that now the things I love making I'm making for our next generation. It's part of why I longed to be a grandma. It's a chance to make all the things for little ones all over again. Because there's nothing like making things for children.

And just a note about Gaga. Hali has commented over the years how he has frightened both sorority sisters and boyfriends. I love that! Here's to continuing the terror.

This is the picture I

This is the picture I wanted. It's like the picture in the magazine, and the reason I made the suit. I've kept that magazine article for so long, long before any of my children were old enough to make me a grandmother.

I've always looked forward to being a grandmother.
