OCTOBER 31, 2008
  NEW GROUP!
  LOCKERRIDGES ENTRY
 THE UNITED FRIENDS CHALLENGE WRITING GROUP

 I have joined a new group! The United Friends Challenge, is a group that challenges each other with topics for new stories, and poems that are original and from the members own experiences in life. I am going to try my hand at a few and see how it goes.. it may be I am not cut out to write fictional stories.. my blogs consist of me sitting and talking to my friends, as though they are in my kitchen having a cup of coffee with me. So let's see how it goes. If you guys don't show up on challenge day.. I will get the hint! I don't think my ego will mind too much, it has always had a pretty tough skin on it!

{Rosiebeck's Challenge....... Write in a poem in a "comedic or humorous" way...how your parents met.. Make a their meeting a comedy or something funny or lively.. This would really be a challenge..if its too hard to do it...make an essay instead of a poem..}


        

 Billy Joe and Reba Lou


Billy Joe and Reba Lou
 my mom and pop
 met on a mountaintop
 when they were but little tots

 There never was a time
 when knowing one another was not
 seems they grew up knowing
 together they would be always
 as they took life's shots


 The families lived close together
 as humans do seem to gather
 so they grew from child to adult
 he learning to plant a crop
 she on the business end of a mop


 Billy Joe and Reba Lou
 my mom and pop
 married and settled down
 on the same mountaintop
 he leaving the crop
 weekly paychecks he sought
 needed to buy her a new mop

 Life for them
 was happy and content
 ah! could this get any better?
 yes it could they thought
 on the day I was born
 they shouted I was heavensent

 Love and laughter
 tears and sorrow
 both sickness and health
 filled their days
 and love deepened in every way

 Billy Joe and Reba Lou
my mom and pop
 were always together
 never apart
so it must have been
 in heaven where they got their start

OCTOBER 31, 2008 A BREAK FROM BEING A GROWNUP... LITTLE PEOPLE.. BIG TALENT

OCTOBER 31, 2008
   A BREAK FROM BEING A GROWNUP...
 LITTLE PEOPLE.. BIG TALENT

This little darlin' makes lockie cry she is so pure in her smile and her song This little guy deserves a break I think.. I am not a real fan of this type song.. but he has really put all he is into it. These two have been groomed for competition for a long time! They are stage people from the word go! Watch the end of it when they are talking to the Simon and the little girl is telling him off kind of.. hilarious! This little darlin' is my favorite of them all.. she is so cute she makes me cry as does the first little girl.. but when she tells him she is an American..I blubber all over myself!
 love the little ones.. love the little ones.. they make all the grownup troubles worth it.. videos for my blog provided by Metacafe For more videos, click here lockerridge
