Happy Birthday Millie

Today is the 10th day of December
A special day for us to remember

It is the birthday of my friend Millie
Great day for her, but here in Texas a little chilly

You are a great bird Millie and I wish you a fantastic day
That you do something nice, let Bob spoil you in a special way

Dave and I send you lots of hugs and birthday wishes
You know today you are not allowed to do housework and definitely no dishes

Put your feet up when you get home and have that beer
Because it’s my friend Millie’s birthday, a day of good cheer.

Happy Birthday Jayden – Zero to 14

Jayden

That time, so fast, seemed like yesterday
So small, so alive, exciting in every way

It was a special day in 1998
He was here after a 9 month wait

He was cute, born happy, he was love at first sight
He grew to be his grandmothers pride, her delight

I am so proud of the person he has grown to be
He is kind, considerate to others, especially me

He is adventuresome, game, inquisitive and very bright
He loves fun, a good laugh, his humor innocent and light

Well Jayden have a Happy Birthday, and hope the future not seen
Will not go as fast as the Zero to fourteen

Poem Friday – Its The Thought Not The Gift

It’s The Thought Not The Gift

Author: Lesley Voth

What do you get someone who has everything
What do I buy, what do I  bring

It is her birthday I am not sure what age
She looks pretty good, its hard to gauge

Should I get perfume, gift card or underwear
Clothing would be nice but she has her own flair

What I choose, It may not  appeal to her
I know she likes rum and the odd liqueur

But that is something that everyone will get
The party is tomorrow, I am starting to sweat

At this moment I have no clue
I would like to get something different, if only I knew

Well I think I know what I will do.
Maybe I could gift her a tattoo

No, she probably wont appreciate that
I don’t think its her thing, I am at a loss, imagination gone flat

I think I will go buy something I would like to get
Stop worrying, just relax make it enjoyable and don’t fret

Because at the end of the day, if you get my drift
It’s about the thought that you put and not about the gift

Poem Friday 08/30/2012 – Happy Birthday Jono

My son Jon has a birthday in three days
1974, September the third, seems like yesterday in many ways

Out into the world he was thrust
Getting to the Cairns races, for the staff was a must

They filled me with drugs to bring him on
Fantastic very quick , stitched me up and then they were gone

You have been a pleasure my son in many ways
We have had good times and some not so good days

But you always make me proud
Because you are  your own person, honest, never loud

There is not a bad bone in your body, you are kind
A great catch for any woman to find

Tidiness is not your best strength
That job as a kid, you would avoid at great length

But we have got great memories, fun laughter of the years
Remember you made wings so you could fly, didn’t work, you shed a few tears

So Jono I wish you a fabulous day
Happiness, love,health, abundance in every way

I wish I was not so far away
So Jono I could hug you for your birthday

Mom

Did You Know – 06/18/2010

The Swiss study, published in the Annals of Epidemiology, analyzed 2.4 million deaths over a 40-year period and showed that the “birthday blues” can be lethal.

Results extracted from a vast amount of data concluded that there were 13.8 percent more deaths on birthdays when compared with any other day of the year. The risk increased with age, with the figure rising to 18 percent in people aged over 60.

According to the AARP Bulletin – The number of patients who die each year from hospital errors is equal to 4 jumbo jets crashing each week. Wow Scary. All the more reason to live a healthy life so you don’t have to go to hospital or another option wait till you are so sick that if you come out alive its a bonus.


Rolling Stones band member Bill Wyman married a 19 year-old model Mandy Smith in 1988. At the same time Wyman’s son was engaged to Mandy Smith’s mother. If his son had married Smith’s mother, Wyman would have been the step grandfather to his own wife.

The Colors Of the Morning Rise

Yesterday at 5am I decided to take out the Viking Kayak and paddle to the other side of our lake. Mika my granddaughter also decided to rise early and a come with me as she wanted to use her new passion,a shrimp cast net that I had bought for her for her birthday.

We have done this before with great success. Breakfast of a good feed of shrimp and mullet.

This particular morning was just an abundance of color and serenity all in one. There was not a breath of wind, and as we rowed across the lake the sun peacefully and beautifully rose between the clouds.

Luckily I had my iPhone with me and was able to capture this awesome beauty,  which I was very blessed to experience.

To get a better take on these pictures I suggest you click on them to enlarge the photo, that way you can see for yourself how beautiful it was.

Enjoy

Poem Friday – Happy Birthday Mika!

Today is a special day for me, my granddaughters birthday
She is a ray of sunshine, great to have around in every way

Those 12 years have gone so fast, just a flash
We don’t always see those moments because we are rushing, have to dash

She has turned into a beautiful flower
Great sense of humor, playful, busy every hour

She has great musical talent, which I admire
She rides horses with a passion of fire

Watching her grow has been a blessing and reflective
Her personality bright and very infective

Well happy birthday Mika, you are 12 today
May you have fun in the best possible way

Poem Friday – Note To Donna

It is just a few days away from the celebration
Its her birthday a special occasion

Who is Donna you might ask and I will tell you straight
Donna is my niece from a marriage of late

I inherited her, which was a great gift
My ex-husbands sisters daughter, still a friend after the rift

Life has not always been easy she has been through many a trial
But she can hold her head up high, be proud, walk with style

I am proud of all that she has achieved
She has struggled, persisted, flourished and believed

For the person she has become, fierce and loyal, quiet not so loud
She sure would have made her Mother so very proud

Her mother left us suddenly a few years back
Just like her Mom, strength of character she does not lack

Well Donna love you and I wish you the best and a wonderful day
When I get back to Australia we will celebrate in our usual drinkin’ and laughin’ way

Aunty

Poem And Pictures Of My Walking Week.






Poem and Pictures of my Walking Week
Author: Lesley Voth

This is my early morning spent
You could not buy this view or rent

I am very blessed to witness such calm and beauty
When I walk some days to improve my booty

I don’t think it makes much of a change
But that time of the morning I would not exchange

It is actually the 19th day of August, 2011
Some years gone, a child was born, a gift from Heaven

Yes it was my Friend, Bronwyn, and yes it is her Birthday
With family and friends she will celebrate in a special way

Though early morning exercise is not her forte
she will enjoy the pictures, of the start of her day

So Bron have a great day
Because the next one is 12 months away.
