Sunshine of the evening

Blossoms lovely face

Spring's peekin' round the corner.

"Pal Joey"

Photo by Kat H. poem by Gigi Ann

This is Pal Joey looking out the window!

Pal Joey is Tony's doggie, he likes to wag his tail.

He likes to go for drives in the truck,

to help Grandpa Tony get the mail.

He sets on his seat so big and so smart,

but when he gets home he likes to dart

around in the yard and hide behind the cart.

That's my Pal Joey he has a piece of my heart!

Joey was born on April 26, 2000, he lived a happy life, he  travel throughout the United States. But sadly he left us on August 18, 2016. He was 16 years old and 4 months. We still miss him. Like the poem says, he will always have a piece of my heart.

"Gertrude Recalls"

Poem by Gigi Ann

Gertrude recalls

that she was among

the first ones;

to dance,

to dip,

to do the

grapevine slip,

or was it the slide?

The electric

was the slide

the grapevine

has no slip or slide

the grapevine goes

from side to side

along the hall, as

Gertrude recalls.

"Fall Into Reading"

Fall is here...

Time to "Fall Into Reading."

Find a shady nook...

Curl up with a good book.

Kick off your shoes...

Shake off those blues.

And "Fall Into Reading"...

 Flying off into another world.

"Snacks"

Photo and verse by Gigi Ann

Cookies, roses, and lace.

What could be better than cookies for a snack?

Carrot Cake smothered in creme cheese frosting.

"Good Morning Sunshine"

Photo and poem by Gigi Ann

Quietly sipping my morning cup of tea

The sunrise quietly creeps over the rooftops

Silhouetted trees quietly waving; "Good Morning Sunshine."

"Summer Beauties"

Photo & Poem by Gigi Ann

Red Summer Beauties 

Warm breezes to cool the air

Swimming in the pool.

"Blowing Bubbles"

Photo & Poem by Gigi Ann

Blowing Bubbles in the air

As a child I stood and stared

Perfect round they hit the ground

Then disappeared never to be found.

Crystal clear with Rainbow glow

Drifting quietly to and fro

OH! how I wanted them to last

POP! it's over, it's in the past.

"Edge Of Tomorrow"

poem by gigi ann

Standing on the edge of tomorrow

We kissed after we said our I do's

He whispered, I do, I really do love you

As we stood on the edge of tomorrow.

Now that tomorrow is here

We are remembering all the years

And as he kissed me he whispered

After all these years

I do, I really do love you. 

"Summer Dreams"

Photo & Poem by Gigi Ann

My favorite tree

Shivering in the breezes

My heart longs for summer.
