Happy Anniversary!

... to my true love

"Grow old along with me! The best is yet to be."   ~Robert Browning

 "Look at us. After all these years together. Look at us. After all we've been through. Still leaning on each other.

If you want to see, How true love should be, Just look at us....

... Chances are We'll go down in history. When they want to see, how true love should be. They'll just look at us." **

I celebrate my love for you.    You are all I ever wanted.

I love you deeply, madly, and I always will.

**Lyrics by Vince Gill

37 years!!

Thirty-seven years ago we said "I do."

You smiled at me in a special way, No matter what you do or say,
You'll always be on my mind, Always gentle, always kind.

A person who is wonderful in every sort of way
Who always makes me laugh and feel gay.
You mean so very much to me and always will

And tho at times I make you mad, Which always makes me very sad
You forgive me with a smile!*

For all the memories, I love you. For today and forever, I love you.

*poem excerpts by S. Bishop

Happy Blogiversary!

Yep, one year ago today I started a blog. It's hard to believe it has been a year. Time passes quickly when you're having fun!! like adding to the yarn stash, knitting, seeing a bit of Texas, knitting, moving into a house, knitting, making new friends, and did I mention knitting?!

I actually started this blog to ramble on about how much I love yarn and knitting and needlepoint, sort of a yarn journal. Well, I've occasionally gotten off the yarn path to brag about the grandkids or even mention some of the neat places we've visited.






So today, SuKnitWitty, GinaP and I got together for our Wed knitting and we played Scrabble.

Of course we had our knitting!! But not much knitting was done.

SuKnitty managed to find a spot to spell yarn (what good would Scrabble be if we couldn't fit in knitting words?!)

We munched some salsa and chips, chatted, and had a great time. Check out SuKnitWitty's take on the game here. (We tried to get her to play a third time so she could win but no-o-o-o... she was done tryin to fit in those new fangled Texas words, "Bless her heart"

It has been a good year and although I may not blog everyday, I think I'll keep at it (or should I say tryin?)

How do I love thee?

How Do I Love Thee?
by Elizabeth B. Browning

How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.

I love thee to the depth and breadth and height

My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight,

For the ends of Being and ideal Grace.

I love thee to the level of everyday's

Most quiet need, by sun and candlelight.

I love thee freely, as men strive for Right;

I love thee purely, as they turn from Praise.

I love thee with the passion put to use

In my old griefs, and with my childhood's faith.

I love thee with a love I seemed to lose

With my lost saints,

--I love thee with the breath,

Smiles, tears, of all my life!

--and, if God choose,

I shall but love thee better after death.

Happy Anniversary! to my love, my best friend, and my soul mate.
