Even though Thanksgiving is now a memory, I am still thankful for the turkeys that gave of themselves so that my family and I could have a superb meal. It wouldn't be a holiday without them!

Weekly Photo Challenge: Green

Reblogged from Grandmother Musings:

I just love the Weekly Photo Challenge from The Daily Post @ WordPress.com. I look forward to the new challenge when it is posted on Friday. This week the challenge is GREEN! My interpretation comes from a trip I shared with my husband to Niagara Falls. The breathtaking views of the falls from Niagara Falls State Park

I thought I would try my hand at this game, using the theme of Veteran’s Day to invent new words to honor all the men and woman who have served our country. Here are a few words I have created …

Weekly Photo Challenge: Geometry

Reblogged from Grandmother Musings:

Table Geometry found in a weekend excursion. The make-up of the table and the grids on the benches are showered with geometric shapes. Even the bricks on the walk are bursting with geometry. Share your interpretation of geometry by posting a picture for the The Daily Post Weekly Photo Challenge: Geometry

Born on Halloween

Reblogged from Grandmother Musings:

I was born on Halloween

when witches pay their due.

Everyone thinks I’m so mean,

but what am I to do?

My mother named me Hazel,

and makes me ride a broom.

She feeds me brew with basil,

and locks me in my room.

My nose is long and crooked.

My pet cat, Boo is black.

They say that I am wicked.

Remembered

Reblogged from Grandmother Musings:

When I am dead,

I hope the words etched

Above my head

Describe how I inspired others.

When they reminisce,

let it be with love

I wish to have left wisdom

in my living.

When stories are told of my antics

may I be painted the heroine.

Let them say with a hearty laugh

that I made them smile.

I pray that when I am gone,

Weekly Photo Challenge: Silhouette

Reblogged from Grandmother Musings:

Spooky Pumpkins for Halloween

Scary faces evil and mean

Carved with malice and marked with fear

A creepy tradition year after year

Boo!

Signs, Signs, Everywhere a Sign

Reblogged from Grandmother Musings:

It is hard to find a place where there are not signs. I am always fascinated by the signs that are posted in our world. Could we survive without a sign?

It Is Almost Time

Reblogged from Grandmother Musings:

It is almost time for the big day.

There are last-minute errands and phone calls to make.

Nerves are strung tight and frayed.

Excitement is building.

By this time next week, it will all be a memory.

I want to cry every time I think about him.

I remember cuddling, story books, and dinnertime.

Now, he is all grown up and independent.

Communication Breakdown

Reblogged from Grandmother Musings:

I wanted to call you

But I did not have a dime

I needed to talk to you

But I did not have the time.

How do we get it together?

Miscommunication has kept us apart

What level of connection do we need?

I SHOULD HAVE KNOWN THIS FROM THE START

Trapped by a string of gutless proposals

The phone does not show your face.

Weekly Writing Challenge: Solitary

Reblogged from Grandmother Musings:

In the wee morning hours, perch fishing on the lakeshore of Lake Michigan in Chicago can be a solitary pursuit. This jaunt down to the lake did not produce a catch, however the experience for my grandson was memorable.

Congested Mind

Reblogged from Grandmother Musings:

When your mind is closed

Ideas fail to come in

When the eyes are shut

Darkness pervades

You can never know what lies beyond

If you never alter your reality
