DEC. 27, 2006

I FOUND THIS REALLY, REALLY WONDERFUL GRAPHIC AND I JUST WANTED TO SHARE IT WITH ALL OF YOU! I THINK IT IS JUST AMAZING HOW THEY CAN MAKE THESE BEAUTIFUL THINGS.

THIS ONE HAS INSPIRED ME TO CONTACT MY LOCAL TECHNICAL SCHOOL TODAY AND I AM SIGNING UP FOR A COMPUTER BASICS COURSE FOR THIS SPRING SEMESTER!

HEAR THAT, PD AND IGHOUSESHOE..... LOCKIE IS GETTING SOME FORMAL TRAINING AND SHE WILL BE SENDING YOU THINGS TO LEARN HOW TO DO! ( WHEN FROGS CAN JUMP OVER THE MOON, IS WHEN THAT WILL HAPPEN!) LOL

WITHOUT ANY FURTHER WORDS, LOOK AT THIS BUTTERFLY, AND IF YOU DON'T SIGH WITH PLEASURE, THERE IS SOMETHING IN YOUR EYE!

PRETTY SPECIAL HUH?.....

BUT IF YOU ARE MORE OF A FLOWER KIND OF PERSON,

CHECK THIS OUT...... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I KNOW YOU AGREE, WITH ME, THAT WHAT WE SEE, IS AS SPECIAL AS CAN BE!

late night edit------ the butterfly is not fluttering with all of its winged capabilities my friends. Something tells me it has to do with the dreaded and evil flash player 9, which is installed upon this computer, and works everywhere else but here!......

This could be a clue....or not.....or maybe it is really late, I am really tired, and I hope the flash player 9, active X thingeymabob, gets a error and dies! Oh , yeah, I would not shed a tear one..... I wouldn't even send it a battery to try and jump start it!

Adobe is just jealous. I guess it knows I am moving into a house with bricks on it instead of adobe. Jealousy can be an ugly thing my friends, oh so ugly!

^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*

^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*

THE DUKE BOYS! THIS CAR HAS BUTTONS, THAT YOU CAN CLICK, AND THE HORN DOES THE FAMOUS REBEL HONK, THE NEXT BUTTON, GIVES YOU THE BOYS YELLING YEHAW, AND LAST, BUT NOT LEAST, IN A 6 YEAR OLD'S MIND, THE SOUND OF TIRES SPINNING ,AND GEARS BEING SPEEDSHIFTED! HE LOVED IT! ( A GIFT FROM HIS MEMAW)

^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^^*^*^*^

THIS IS HOMER'S MOM, ANNA MARIE, ( HER REAL NAME). SHE THINKS DIAMONDS ARE A GIRL'S BEST FRIEND, JUST LIKE THE WOMAN (ME), WHO BOUGHT THESE FOR HER! SHE IS WORTHY OF SO MUCH MORE, I COULD NEVER BEGIN TO RELATE TO YOU HOW LOVING AND GIVING SHE IS. SHE IS ONE IN A MILLION AND ONE! I LOVE HER.... NO MATTER IF, HOMER AND I DECIDED WE HATED THE AIR EACH OTHER BREATHED, I WILL ALWAYS LOVE THIS WOMAN!

^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^

ZING, BONG, BONG, ERRK,, SQUEAK!) PACKING HIS BRAND NEW SWORD FROM HILLBILLY TECHNOLOGY INC., WHICH WHEN THE TIGGER IS PULLED, LIGHTS UP WITH KALEDIOSCOPE COLORS UP AND DOWN THE SWORD, WHILE MAKING A SWOOSHING SOUND LIKE IT IS POWERING UP. HEY, DO I KNOW HOW TO PICK OUT TOYS, OR WHAT? KIDS PARENTS I GIVE GIFTS TOO, NATURALLY HATE TO SEE ME PULL THAT PACKAGE OUT OF THE TRUNK! THE WAY I SEE IT, THEY ARE GOING HOME WITH THEM NOT ME, SO WHY NOT BASK IN THE GLOW OF HERO WORSHIP THEY HEAP UPON MY WORTHY HEAD! HAHA! SITTING IN HIS FAVORITE ROCKING CHAIR-LOUNGER, BEHIND KYLE, IS HIS PAPPA HAROLD (REAL NAME), JUST TAKING IT ALL IN STRIDE..... SLOW AND EASY.... WITH VERY LITTLE EFFORT EXCEPT FOR AN OCCASION FOOT WIGGLE TO ROCK THE RECLINER TO A FULLER LOUNGE POSITION. .... AND MOM-RIE, SITTING UPON HER FAVORITE AFTER DINNER PERCH, BUT WITHOUT HER USUAL NOVEL.

^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^

CHECK OUT THE " I MAKE DIRT LOOK GOOD" JOHN DEER T-SHIRT!

*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^

HERE IS HOMER JR. HARD AT HELPING TO GET DINNER READY, BY TALKING TO A GIRL ON THE PHONE..... FOR AN HOUR.... THEN AFTER HE ATE, HE HAULED OUT OF THE HOUSE, CLIMBED INTO THE ROCKET (HE WISHES) SLED, AND WENT PEALING OUT OF THE DRIVE. OFF TO HIS MOTHERS HOUSE. I AM SO APPRECIATED... I COULD CRY TEARS OF HAPPINESS, FROM ALL THE LOVE I FEEL EMINATING FROM HIM, AND OH! MY AT HIS CARING WAY OF EXPRESSING IT! HE PECKED ME ON THE CHEEK AND SAID," GOOD EATS" .........SIGH......THE FAMOUS SOIE IG HAT, I CONVINCED HIM TO TAKE OFF THE DUCT TAPE ON THE BILL IN CELEBRATIONS OF CHISTMAS, AND THE FACT, THAT HIS MEMAW( MOM-RIE) WAS COMING. SHE HAS A LOT OF POWER IN HER SUGGESTIONS, I MUST LEARN HER SECRETS! LOL

^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^

MOM-RIE AND, I IN MY KITCHEN, CONTEMPLATING THE BENEFITS OF SQUARE ICE CUBES OR THOSE CUTE LITTLE ROUND ONES..

HUMMMM... I DO HAVE THAT CERTAIN LOOK THAT JUST TELLS SOMEONE, I HAVE SPENT A LOT OF TIME WITH A TURKEY.....

IT IS DIFFICULT TO MAINTAIN PERFECT GROOMING AND FANTASTIC CULINARY SKILL INTO ONE HUMAN BEING, BUT I COME DARN CLOSE, YEP, DARN CLOSE!!!!!!

*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^

WE FORGOT TO TAKE A PHOTO OF THE TURKEY BEFORE IT WAS CARVED, BUT THIS IS MY FIRST CHRISTMAS DINNER, IN MY HOME, EVER...... MY TABLE CLOTH WAS A MIGHT TOOOOOOO SMALL, BUT I HAD NEVER PUT THE LEAF EXTENSION IN THE TABLE BEFORE, HOW WAS I TO KNOW WHAT SIZE IT WAS? LOL

*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^

YOU CAN SEE HOMER'S COMPUTER I GAVE HIM, WHEN I GOT TIRED OF WAITING TO USE MY COMPUTER ( THIS ONE), AND THE PEOPLE AT DELL BUILT ME ONE OF MY VERY OWN. IT IS LOCATED JUST TO THE RIGHT OF THIS ONE IN MY BEDROOM..... I HAVE A 17" LCD MONITOR ( THEY ARE JEALOUS, AND I LOVE IT!)!.... YEAH, THEY ASK, BUT THE ANSWER IS ALWAYS NO, NO, AND NO AGAIN! YOU CAN USE THE COMPAC OR IT IS NOTHING....THEY KNOW I AM EVIL, AND THEY KNOW I BITE! AT MY HOUSE, IF YOU CAN'T SHARE, YOU PAY NO ATTENTION WHEN YOU ARE TOLD "DO NOT DO THIS, IT TOOK ME ALL DAY TO FIX IT LAST TIME YOU DID !", AND DO IT ANYWAY, YOU LOSE POINTS IN THE LOCKERRIDGETHUMBS^UP POINT BANK!

*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*

HERE WE ARE STUFFING OUR FACES, EXCEPT ME, WELL, I AM TAKING THE PHOTO. THE FELLOW WHO NEEDS A SHAVE, AND HAS AN ENTIRE TURKEY LEG IN HIS GRUBBY HAND IS MY DARLIN' LIL BOY, 23 YRS. OF AGE, HANDSOME JAMIE LEE. HE THINKS YOU CAN GET A TAN FROM CAMERA FLASHES I AM SURE, MY CLUE IS THAT HE ALWAYS HAS THIS OUTGOING THING HAPPENING WHENEVER THERE IS A CAMERA IN SOMEONES HAND........CHUCKLE. THAT'S OUR COUSIN ALYSON ( THAT COLOR OF RED WASN'T THE HAIR COLOR, SHE WAS BORN WITH, I DO HOPE THIS A TEENAGE PHASE.....)TO HIS LEFT, THEN HOMER JR. ( JEFF IS IS REAL NAME), THEN MY BELOVED PARTNER, HOMER( NOPE! I AIN'T GONNA TELL YOU HIS REAL NAME ), THEN HAROLD, FATHER OF ALIAS HOMER, AND ANNA MARIE ( MOTHER OF ALIAS HOMER). THE REST OF THE CREW, HAD TO TAKE MY COUSIN ALAN'S SON, BACK TO HIS MOMMA'S HOUSE ( YEP, DIVORCE, SIGH). THEY LEFT ME ALYSON, TO VISIT WITH FOR A WHILE. BUT, AFTER SHE ATE, TOOK OFF HER SHOES,GOT ON THE COUCH, AND WAS OUT LIKE A LIGHT! ( WONDER IF I AM THAT BAD AS A CONVERSTIONALIST). JAMIE, AFTER JEFF LEFT FOR " HIS" MOM'S, GOT IN JEFF'S BED AND ZONKED OUT! KID'S THESE DAYS JUST DON'T HAVE ANY STAMINA, YA KNOW? I BLAME LITTLE DEBBIE SNACK CAKES AND THE WORD "LIKE"! "LIKE I WAS GOING TO TALK TO THEM, LIKE I REALLY, LIKE YOU KNOW,WANTED TO FIND OUT , LIKE HOW THEY WERE DOING, LIKE YOU KNOW." LIKE....HEHEHE....WHEN I WAS THEIR AGE IS WAS " FAR OUT MAN!" ....YEAH

*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^

WELL ALL MY 360 FRIENDS, THIS IS A SAMPLE OF THE PHOTOS I TOOK, BUT MOST GOT THE, MOVEMENT DURING THE SHOT BLURS, AND WELL YOU KNOW THAT CAN HARDLY EVER BE HELPED, SO ONLY A SMALL AMOUNT WERE WHAT CAME OUT AS WORTHY OF YOUR INTEREST. I HOPE YOU ALL HAD A MERRY CHRISTMAS, AND WILL ENJOY THE BEST NEW YEAR OF YOUR LIVES!

DEC. 23, 2006 IAMIGLOO'S CHRISTMAS GIFT....... SOCKS? FRUITCAKE? HULA LAMP?...

MY FRIENDS, IN RECENT DAYS, I HAVE PROCRASTINATED AND LEFT MY CHRISTMAS SHOPPING TILL THE LAST MINUTE. THIS OF COURSE I BLAME ON MY FRIEND IAMIGLOO.

WHY YOU MAY ASK, DO I BLAME THE FURLESS FOWL AMONG US? VERY SIMPLE, HE BROUGHT ANOTHER EVIL X INTO MY LIFE.... OH! YES, THE FLASH PLAYER 9...AKA... ACTIVE X PLAYER ... .. THEY ARE EVIL!

YOU MAY REMEMBER THE BATTLE I WAGED AGAINST THE EVIL RED X IN MY BLOGS. THEY WERE NASTY LITTLE DISRUPTERS, BUT I WAS VICTORIOUS! BUT IT TOOK 2 MONTHS FOR ME TO FIGURE OUT THE RIGHT BATTLE PLAN TO DEFEAT THIS EVIL FOE.

I HAVE HAD ONLY ONE WEEK TO WORK ON THIS RECENT MENACE TO MY COMPUTER SERENITY. IAMIGLOO PLACED IT INTO HIS BLOG AS A TOOL. I HAVE TO HAVE THIS NEW THREAT TO MY SANITY, TO LEAVE HIM HIS CHRISTMAS GIFT FROM ME. THAT IS NOT ENOUGH TIME FOR ME TO FIGURE OUT WHAT DAY OF THE WEEK IT IS, LET ALONE HOW TO WAGE A MAJOR BATTLE!

I, BEING FAMILIAR WITH THE EVILNESS OF THESE X'S DECIDED TO BRING HIS GIFT HERE TO MY BLOG WHERE IT WILL REMAIN SAFE FROM THEIR DASTARDLY WAYS! MUCH DISCUSSION WAS NEEDED TO CONVINCE THE PRESENT TO DO THIS MY WAY......SO WITHOUT FURTHER ADEIU.........

HERE IS MY CHRISTMAS GIFT

FOR IAMIGLOO

MERRY CHRISTMAS MY FRIEND!

DEC. 21, 2006 SIX WEIRD THINGS ABOUT LOCKIE -- A BLISS TAG TALE.

I HAVE BEEN TAGGED!..!..! MISS LADYBUGBLISS HAS TAGGED ME.... SHE WANTS TO KNOW.........

SIX WEIRD THINGS ABOUT ME...... HUMMM.........

I KNOW YOU ARE THINKING TO YOURSELVES, YOU MEAN THERE IS MORE WE HAVE NOT SEEN ALREADY?

WHOA! DON'T RUN AWAY! I PROMISE TO NOT TELL YOU THE TOP SIX.... I WILL STICK TO STUFF THAT WON'T MAKE YOUR HAIR TURN PREMATURELY GRAY, AND FALL OUT!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

*WEIRD THING NO.1 ~~~ I LIKE BLACK AND WHITE COWS. I THINK THEY ARE CUTE. THEY LOOK AT YOU AND FLIP A FLY AWAY FROM THERE EAR WITH THEIR TAIL(THAT, IS TRUE TALENT!)

THEY ALSO ARE KNOWN TO FROLICK IN THE MEADOWS! I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN A SECRET FROLICKER....YOU REALLY MUST TRY IT SOMETIME, WITH A BLACK AND WHITE COW. MOOING WITH THEM CAN AND WILL MAKE THEM MAD , THEY DON'T LIKE IT WHEN YOU MOO WITH THEM, IT IS SO HARD TO RESIST MOOING WITH THEM, WHEN A BUNCH OF THEM GET TOGETHER AND FORM PERFECT O'S WITH THEIR LIPS AND, THEN THEY SAY IN THE MOST SOUTHERN BELL ACCENT I EVER HEARD, YOU CAN CUT THIS ACCENT WITH A KNIFE, IT IS SO THICK, " MOO YOU ALL, I SAY MOOOO!"... DON'T REPEAT IT IN THE COW'S PRESENCE, THEY GET A REALLY FIRED UP LOOK IN THEIR EYES, AND THEIR MOO'S DON' T SOUND SO POLITE ANYMORE! ....... PERHAPS WE HAVE AN ACCENT THEY DON'T LIKE, OR MAYBE BAD BREATH, AND I LOST MY TIC TACS... DANG IT !! HAHAA

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

*WEIRD THING NO.2 ~~~ I AM PETRIFIED OF WATER. I CAN'T SWIM, AND I DON'T WANT TO LEARN HOW EITHER. I DON'T EVEN TAKE MANY BATHS, I AM A SHOWER WOMAN. THERE IS JUST SOMETHING ABOUT THE WATER CLOSING IN OVER MY HEAD AND FILLING UP MY NOSE, THAT MAKES ME PANIC AND TRY TO CLIMB THE CLOSEST THING THAT IS OUT OF THE WATER. BE IT HUMAN, ANIMAL, OR MINERAL, HECK, I WOULDN'T CARE IF IT WAS A VEGATABLE!....HUMM.....WONDER WHY THAT IS?.. WELL DUH, .... MAYBE, BECAUSE PEOPLE HAVE BEEN KNOW TO DROWN!!( and that has got to hurt) WHEN THEY HAVE THEIR HEAD UNDER THE WATER!!!!!.... at least that is what I have been told by the big girls, and they know everything....lol

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

*WEIRD THING NO.3 ~~~ I AM A WOMAN AND I HATE TO GO SHOPPING.... I ALWAYS HAVE HATED IT... I AM SHORT, AND I HAVE A SIZE 5 SHOE SIZE ... IN ANY STORE'S SHOE DEPT. SIZE 7 HAS 3 ISLES OF THE CUTEST SHOES AND BOOTS ..... NOW STROLL OVER TO WHERE THE SIZE 5 SHOES ARE DISPLAYED. YOU SEE INSTEAD OF 3 ISLES OF SHOES, YOU SEE 3 PAIR OF SHOES ... AND THEY HAVE BEEN THERE FOR A COUPLE OF CLEARANCE SALES, AND NOT MADE ONTO SOMEONE'S FOOT YET! ..... I AM 48 YEARS OLD. I AM SHOPPING IN THE LEMON FROG SHOP FOR PRE-TEEN GIRLS. THE SPONGEBOB OVERALLS AND MINISKIRTS JUST MAKE ME LOOK A COMPLETELY PITIFUL. AS FOR SHOES, THE LIGHT UP TWEETY BIRDS IN THE WEDGE HEELS WHEN I STEP DOWN, ARE JUST PITIFUL! I REALLY DO NOT FEEL TOO WEIRD, ABOUT TELLING YOU, I DO NOT LIKE TO SHOP! I AM DIFFERENT, WHEN MY GIRLFRIENDS FROM SCHOOL WERE ALL GOING TO COLLEGE TO GET A DEGREE, I WAS BUYING A POULTRY FARM. THEY ALL WANTED NEW CARS, AND NEW HOMES. ME? I WANTED A NEW TRACTOR WITH A FRONTEND LOADER, AND A NEW BARN WITH SEPARTE STALLS, AND HEATERS! THAT WAS MY IDEA OF THE GOOD LIFE, AND IT HAS NOT CHANGED AT ALL! .... THEY GO TO THE MALL, TO SHOP TILL THEY DROP, ON SATURDAYS. I GO TO THE YARD SALES. I GET MY, " NEW CHANGE OF SEASON-- -WARDROBE", OFF OF THE 3 THINGS FOR A QUARTER TABLES IN THE SHADE, OR MAYBE 4 IF YOU TAKE THE WHOLE TABLE FULL OF STUFF. I CUT OFF ALL OF THE BUTTONS AND ZIPPERS OF THE STUFF THAT WON'T FIT, AND USE IT FOR OUTSIDE RAGS! ( my momma always told me "Waste not, Want not!") I SPEND MY SATURDAY NIGHTS, AT THE LOCAL HORSE SHOWS, OR DRAGGING HOMER FISHING SOMEWHERE. I AM, TO SAY THE LEAST, EASY TO ENTERTAIN, MOST CONTENT WHEN I AM IN THE SAME AIR SPACE AS HAY AND HORSE AROMA, AND I AM REAL EASY ON A MAN'S WALLET WHEN WE GO OUT. I USUALLY TAKE OUR FOOD FROM HOME WITH US, YOU KNOW ME, ALWAYS PREPARED! BALONEY AND BREAD ARE ALWAYS WITH ME, BUT NOW I KEEP THEM LOCKED UP TIGHT IN THE FRONT OF THE TRUCK! HAHAHAHA!

ONE RUN IN WITH A BOLD BLACK BALONEY SANDWICH EATING BEAR, IS ENOUGH FOR THIS, SOMETIMES REDNECK WOMAN TO BE EXPOSED TO, AND STILL NOT CARRY A SHOTGUN!..... oh yeah! I know how to shoot one of those too!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

*WEIRD THING NO.4 ~~~ I DISLIKE THE GAMESHOW,"THE PRICE IS RIGHT" WITH BOB " HAVE YOUR PET SPAYED OR NEUTERED" BARKER! I CAN'T SEE WHY THAT SHOW HAS BEEN THE NUMBER ONE GAME SHOW ON TELEVISION, EVER. THOSE GAMES, THE BIG WHEEL, AND ALL THAT SMULTZ, IS RIGGED PEOPLE! CATCH A CLUE HERE! THEY GO FOR THREE WEEKS, AND THE ONLY THING ANYONE WINS IS A TOASTER! A TWO SLOT ONE AT THAT!

AND THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN IN ONE WEEK, THEY WILL HAVE PEOPLE WHO TAKE HOME 15 TRIPS, A MOBILE HOME, 6 HUMMERS, A GRAND PIANO, THE CROWN JEWELS, A WASHER AND DRYER, AND A MICROWAVE. THAT IS JUST FOR THE ONE DAY! PULLLLEEEEZZZZ ... BOB BARKER , I SINCERELY HOPE YOU WERE NEUTERED WHEN YOU WERE A PUP, OR YOUR WIFE HAS BEEN SPAYED... WE DON'T NEED ANOTHER ONE LIKE YOU...... ... OR I JUST MIGHT BE ONE OF THOSE PEOPLE WHO GO POSTAL ON A GAME SHOW HOST! ...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

*WEIRD THING NO. 5 ~~~ WHEN I COOK A MEAL, AND WE ALL SIT DOWN AT THE TABLE I HAVE PREPARED FOR MY LOVING FAMILY. THE RESULTS FROM THE SWEAT OF MY BROW, AND THE STRAIN ON MY BRAIN FROM FIGURING OUT WHAT I CAN FIX THAT THEY WILL ACTUALLY EAT .... IF SOMEONE DARES.... AND I MEAN .. DARES ... TO SAY, IN A WHINING TYPE VOICE " I DON'T LIKE THAT.... YUCK!" I GET WORSE THAT WEIRD.... ESPECIALLY IF THEY HAVE BEEN PRACTICALLY CHEWING MY LEGS OFF WHINING, " WHEN IS SUPPER, I AM STARVING TO DEATH!" YEAH,RIGHT! ... IF THIS DOES HAPPEN,... THE ONE WHOM HAS, IN MY OPINION JUST DECLARED THEY ARE NOT HUNGRY AT ALL, MUST LEAVE NOT ONLY THE TABLE, BUT MY SIGHT FOR THE REST OF THE EVENING!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

*WEIRD THING NO.6 ~ ~ MY TOWELS MUST BE FOLDED A CERTAIN WAY, OR THEY ARE WRONG. .... YEAH THIS IS WEIRD, I ADMIT IT. BUT, I CAN'T SEEM TO HELP IT....I WAS RECUPERATING FROM ONE OF MY MANY SURGERIES(YOU CAN PLAY TIC TAC TOE FROM THE GRID OF SCAR TISSUE ON MY ABDOMEN) MY MOTHER-IN-LAW (YIPPEE... )CAME DOWN TO HELP ME WITH THE HOUSE ONE DAY, BECAUSE MY MOM HAD AN APPT... SHE DID MY LOAD OF LAUNDRY IN THE HAMPER, WHILE I AND MY BABY TOOK A NAP. THAT NIGHT WHEN I WENT TO TAKE MY SHOWER, I OPENED THE DOOR OF THE LINEN CLOSET, AND MY TOWELS FELL INTO THE FLOOR!!!........ THEY HAD BEEN FOLDED BY MY MOTHER-IN-LAW AKKKKKKK!!!!!! SUFFERING FROM POST PARTEUM DEPRESSION, I BURST INTO TEARS! MY HUSBAND CAME DASHING INTO THE BATHROOM, BREATHING A SIGH OF RELIEF, WHEN HE SAW WHY I WAS BLUBBERING, AND SLAMMING DOORS! I WAS REFOLDING THE TOWELS, AND CRYING LIKE MY HEART WAS BROKEN, AND HE PULLED ME INTO HIS ARMS, AND SNUGGLED ME. ( MY HUSBAND COULD ALWAYS READ ME LIKE A BOOK) " MOM FOLDED THE TOWELS WRONG DIDN'T SHE?" NODDING FURIOUSLY,I CONTINUED TO BLUBBER AND BLOW SNOT, WHILE HE SAT IN THE FLOOR ROCKING ME.

YOU kNOW, FROM THAT ONE "WEIRD" THING ABOUT ME, CAME ONE OF THE BEST MEMORIES I HAVE OF MY HUSBAND, AND HIS LOVE FOR ME. SO, MAYBE THESE THINGS THAT ARE LABELED BY MOST OF US AS, " STRANGE" OR "WEIRD," ARE THE VERY THINGS THAT ENDEAR US TO OTHERS.......
