I cried when you passed away. I still cry today. Although I loved you dearly, I couldn't make you stay. A golden heart stopped beating, hard working hands at rest. God broke my heart to prove to me he only takes the best.

There are moments in a man’s life when a wish or a dream is fulfilled. Today is that day August 28, 2010. Young love, true love born in reality of the open sea.
Sleek in her lines, smooth and gentle as she sways and awaits your touch. You take command, you feel the warmth and she responds taking you with her to the height of passion as your heart beats wildly. The air is fresh and clean as you both ride the cresting waves. You lead as she responds to your touch, the joy of being as one, going to a higher ecstasy never before felt. The rapture over takes with each crest and ebb of the waves as the peak of passion is to the point of complete satisfaction.
As moonlight filters through, she sways gently and in her rhythm you find the peace of a love you will always hold in your heart. Drifting together you will awaken and once more know she is yours to take to the dizzying heights of the perfect wave of a passion beyond all expectations.
To hear your voice so clear and sweet
I long to be near and feel your heart beat.
Our time is so short when the phone rings
Yet I know joy and love your message brings.
My heart beats faster with each loving word
My heart sprouts wings like a silver hawk bird.
Yes, tonight I will sleep with dreams in my head
I will sleep happy and secure alone in my bed.
Just knowing you care and our love strong
Makes my life pleasing and nothing is wrong.
One day our dreams will surely come true
Together we will fly through skies deep blue.
We both have had heavy burdens to bare
This makes our love strong and truly we care.
Our thoughts and our hearts really beat as one
Soon our hopes and dreams will be again fun.
I was so excited this morning when I went out to my flower beds to check on some recent transplants. My precious yellow calla lily was finally peeking through, and it brought tears to my eyes. If you haven't seen it in all it's beauty then scroll down for you will find the photo posted "Can You See Me". After winning an award on that photo last fall, I would have been heart broken to have lost it because of moles tunneling under everything and finding some of my lovely lily bulbs over 18 inches down in the ground. I decided to make it easy on you and just uploaded the photo of my calla lily. This was a special gift for my birthday 8 years ago and that is why I am so protective of this special plant.
I have been asked to expand on my auction. Here goes. I found myself in a position where there were funeral and headstone to pay along with many bills from doctors and hospitals. As I sat in my Doctors office the words of my late husband kept running through my brain. No we better save this or no you will need these things later on. I went home and got out the phone book and carefully assessed the different auction and antique dealers in my area. I made the call and left my name and phone number. Shortly my call was answered and an appointment was made to come assess what my position and theirs and would we be able to work my situation out. We agreed and started going through many antiques that I would be willing to part with. Things moved slow and a lot of red tape had to be cut. Then one morning I awakened very early and as I sat sipping my coffee a plan formed. I knew I wanted my art gallery and the garage was the only logical space. That was filled to the rim with tools of every shape and size imaginable. I called early and spoke to the antique dealer and asked what would happen if we tried to have the auction right here rather than carry them all over the state to different auctions. They had been speaking of the same idea that morning as well. They went ahead and in about two weeks we had permission from the county to have the auction here. Now the fun part, we will start Monday sorting and preparing tables in the garage and all other aspects of the auction are in place. They are handling every thing: signs, advertising, auctioneer, permits and parking. This will be at a cost of 25% goes to them and 75% goes to me. I do know that many places charge as high as 35% for doing an auction. The hard part is the memories, you will have to put them safely away in your heart.
I'm not sure where this came from but I really like it and would like to share it with you.
Just thoughts that meander through my mind!!
As we grow up, we learn that even the one person that wasn't suppose to ever let you down probably will. You will have your heart broken probably more than once and it's harder every time. You will break hearts too, so remember how it felt when yours was broken. You'll fight with your best friend. You'll blame a new love for things an old one did. You'll cry because time is passing too fast, and you'll eventually lose someone you love. So take too many pictures, laugh too much, and love like you've never been hurt because every sixty seconds you spend upset is a minute of happiness you'll never get back.
