A Ditty for My Darling

September 27, 2011

He is cute, smart, and funny!
(Through ups AND through downs.)
We met on our bikes
Just before I left town.

I had NO idea that this man someday would be
My husband!! (The truth was, he made me...very giggly.)

Since then we have done
a whole lot of pedaling
On bicycles, first, but with the
universe meddling:

Our lives have gone over some huge bumps and dips...

A Birth, An Anniversary, and A Beautiful Wedding, For Sure!

June 17, 2011

Dear Family,

We may live without poetry, music and art;
We may live without conscience and live without heart;
We may live without friends; we may live without books;

He may live without hope—what is hope but deceiving?
He may live without love,—what is passion but pining?
But where is the man that can live without dining?

The latter is the program suggested by these investigations.”

A Riddle, Unschoolers R Us, and Some Commentary By My Mom

May 31, 2011

Birds, beasts, trees, flowers;
Gnaws iron, bites steel;
Grinds hard stones to meal;
Slays king, ruins town,
And beats high mountain down.”

--As recited by Gollum in “The Hobbit”

Jemmerisms:

“I like that you had me.”

Contemplating the universe: “It's a good thing we're all still around.”

Trying to get into his pajamas after a bath: “Know why my foot is getting stuck [in my pants]? Because I'm soggy!”
