For my Husband...Love Ya!

You're the straw in my berry,
the cheddar in my cheese...
The song in my heart and,
The quiver in my knees.

You laugh at my corn,
You were there when 'they' were born,
Your touch brings calmness in,
And you are my mc'Lovin

xx

love you

Babies Don't Keep

This made me cry:
 
Babies Don't Keep by Ruth Hulburt Hamilton

Mother, O Mother, come shake out your cloth,
...Empty the dustpan, poison the moth,
Hang out the washing, make up the bed,
Sew on a button and butter the bread.

Where is the mother whose house is so shocking?
She's up in the nursery, blissfully rocking.

Oh, I've grown as shiftless as Little Boy Blue,
Lullabye, rockabye, lullabye loo.
Dishes are waiting and bills are past due
Pat-a-cake, darling, and peek, peekaboo

The shopping's not done and there's nothing for stew
And out in the yard there's a hullabaloo
But I'm playing Kanga and this is my Roo
Look! Aren't his eyes the most wonderful hue?
Lullabye, rockaby lullabye loo.

The cleaning and scrubbing can wait till tomorrow
But children grow up as I've learned to my sorrow.
So quiet down cobwebs; Dust go to sleep!
I'm rocking my baby and babies don't keep.

Gareth Cliff's Letter to Government...and the Result.

Please read the following and form your own opinions:

My only concern is this - that the passifying words of Government will never translate into action. We have been hearing these words of agreement and understanding but have yet to see any major changes. I personally feel that, instead of playing like jealous children guarding their toys - the Government and other political parties should unite with one goal - the "fixing, healing and unifiying" of this country.

Take God Out!

I received this email today and would like to share it – I cannot vouch for it's authenticity but can admit that it is food for thought,

 

"The following was written by Ben Stein and recited by him on CBS Sunday Morning  Commentary.

 

My confession:

 

I am a Jew, and every single one of my ancestors was Jewish.  And it does not bother me even a little bit when people call those beautiful lit up, bejewelled trees, Christmas trees...  I don't feel threatened..  I don't feel discriminated against... That's what they are, Christmas trees.

 

It doesn't bother me a bit when people say, 'Merry Christmas' to me.  I don't think they are slighting me or getting ready to put me in a ghetto.  In fact, I kind of like it.  It shows that we are all brothers and sisters celebrating this happy time of year. It doesn't bother me at all that there is a manger scene on display at a key intersection near my beach house in Malibu..  If people want a crèche, it's just as fine with me as is the Menorah a few hundred yards away.

 

I don't like getting pushed around for being a Jew, and I don't think Christians like getting pushed around for being Christians.  I think people who believe in God are sick and tired of getting pushed around, period.  I have no idea where the concept came from, that America is an explicitly atheist country.  I can't find it in the Constitution and I don't like it being shoved down my throat.

 

Or maybe I can put it another way: where did the idea come from that we should worship celebrities and we aren't allowed to worship God as we understand Him?  I guess that's a sign that I'm getting old, too.  But there are a lot of us who are wondering where these celebrities came from and where the America we knew went to.

 

In light of the many jokes we send to one another for a laugh, this is a little different:  This is not intended to be a joke; it's not funny, it's intended to get you thinking.

 

Billy Graham's daughter was interviewed on the Early Show and Jane Clayson asked her 'How could God let something like this happen?' (Regarding Hurricane Katrina)..  Anne Graham gave an extremely profound and insightful response..  She said, 'I believe God is deeply saddened by this, just as we are, but for years we've been telling God to get out of our schools, to get out of our government and to get out of our lives.  And being the gentleman He is, I believe He has calmly backed out.  How can we expect God to give us His blessing and His protection if we demand He leave us alone?'

 

In light of recent events... terrorists attack, school shootings, etc..  I think it started when Madeleine Murray O'Hare (she was murdered, her body found a few years ago) complained she didn't want prayer in our schools, and we said OK.  Then someone said you better not read the Bible in school.  The Bible says thou shalt not kill; thou shalt not steal, and love your neighbour as yourself.  And we said OK.

 

Then Dr. Benjamin Spock said we shouldn't spank our children when they misbehave, because their little personalities would be warped and we might damage their self-esteem (Dr. Spock's son committed suicide). We said an expert should know what he's talking about. And we said okay.

 

Now we're asking ourselves why our children have no conscience, why they don't know right from wrong, and why it doesn't bother them to kill strangers, their classmates, and themselves.

 

Probably, if we think about it long and hard enough, we can figure it out. I think it has a great deal to do with 'WE REAP WHAT WE SOW.'

 

Funny how simple it is for people to trash God, and then wonder why the world's going to hell.  Funny how we believe what the newspapers say, but question what the Bible says.  Funny how you can send 'jokes' through e-mail and they spread like wildfire, but when you start sending messages regarding the Lord, people think twice about sharing.  Funny how lewd, crude, vulgar and obscene articles pass freely through cyberspace, but public discussion of God is suppressed in the school and workplace.

 

Are you laughing yet?

 

Funny how when you forward this message, you will not send it to many on your address list because you're not sure what they believe, or what they will think of you for sending it.

 

Funny how we can be more worried about what other people think of us than what God thinks of us.

 

Pass it on if you think it has merit.

 

If not, then just discard it... no one will know you did.  But, if you discard this thought process, don't sit back and complain about what bad shape the world is in. 

 

 

My Best Regards, Honestly and respectfully,

 

Ben Stein"

The Wedding of Awesomness : )

This was the blessed experience that I mentioned:

 

Two weeks before the 3rd of September 2010 I held a secret meeting with a saddened Groom whose Fiancé was spiralling into wedded "un-bliss"… Due to unresolved issues and time/budget constraints the happy couple were resigned to merely "getting hitched on paper" and not experiencing the joy of a real wedding.

 

After our hush hush meeting we had 14 days to organise a wedding…a SECRET wedding. The dress. The food. The venue. The décor. The music. The family. All had to be organised in less than two weeks!

 

With little sleep, many pin stabbed fingers and after driving all over Durban for fabric and catering, we managed to pull it off! The wedding was awesome! A Paw Paw Productions SA first : )

 

4 days before the wedding date, all invitations had gone out and everything was secured and ready… I phoned the groom and said – let's tell her and just stop the misery!! SO I had the pleasure of saying the VERY TV line… "Hi there, do you know why I'm calling?...well, my name is Sandy and I am your WEDDING PLANNER… just confirming that EVERYTHING is ready for Friday…can you come for a dress fitting?" The response of "Are there camera's?? is this real??" made me cry…

 

Glad we could help guys, may your union be blessed.

 

Take Care,
