Hellos & Goodbyes

My 96 year old Mother gets a visit from her 91 year old brother who she hasn't seen in over a year.


This picture say's it all, goodbyes are hard.

My Eight O' Clock entry

This is the entry photo and the poem I submitted.

"Shaky Acres"

Times are tough, the house is rough.
The market's crashed with all our cash.
Walked in the door, fell through the floor.
Sheets are worn, blankets torn.
I look around, all's falling down.
I'm getting weary, a trifle teary.
So I put up my feet for a mini retreat.
It's time to rest with a cup of the best!
