Happy Hour

"IF A LIFETIME CAN BE LIKENED TO A DAY, THEN THIS IS HAPPY HOUR!"
BUCK PENNINGTON

Mother, Mother Ocean

Mother, Mother Ocean, I've heard you call
Wanted to sail upon your waters since I was three feet tall
You've seen it all, you've seen it all
Watched the men who rode you, switch from sails to steam
In your belly you hold the treasures, few have ever seen
Most of 'em dream, most of 'em dream
Yes, I am a pirate, two hundred year's too late
The cannons don't thunder, there's nothin' to plunder
I'm an over-forty victim of fate
Arriving too late, arriving too late

Yoda

"Size matters not. Look at me. Judge me by my size, do you? Hmm? Hmm. And well you should not. For my ally is the Force, and a powerful ally it is."
―Yoda, to Luke Skywalker

Counted the Stars

Counted the stars on the 4th of July
Wishing we were rockets bursting in the sky
Talking about redemption and leaving things behind
I have these pictures and I keep these photographs
To remind me of a time
These pictures and these photographs
Let me know I'm doin' fine
We used to be so happy once upon a time
Once upon a time
But the sun sank west of the Mendocino County Line
And the sun sank west of the Mendocino County Line

My, Sweet Friend from The Pacific Northwest, Janet Knight.

"§kyye {baby} lives in the Pacific Northwest and blogs from… well, just about everywhere. (Look up, I may be flying over you right now.)
She is:  A Warrior Mom;  Mother of two crazy, intelligent, adorable, beloved and exhaustingly active boys ~ Wife of yet another.  Daughter of a US Airman (AFRES) & daughter of a Devil Dawg.   Sister of a Marine Sharp Shooter.  RAH!   Honorary Sister (as bestowed upon her by several US Mil. Veterans.)  MOS:  Patriot.  Unit:  Infidels.   Rank:  I could tell you, but… well, you know.    Precariously owned and operated by a decidedly aloof feline of the Chocolate-Point Snowshoe Siamese persuasion.
Claims to fame:  Pilot.  Airport Bum.  MHC Member.  Airline Widow.  Frequent Flier.  Seahawk #12.  Cougar.  Finance & Economics major.  Author.  Foodie and gourmet coffee aficionado.  Artist.  Dreamer…
General Purveyor of Good over Evil with the requisite amounts of humor and [heavy] sarcasm.  (This is your first, last and only warning.)
Thanks for visiting."

Give her some time and believe me, you will appreciate it.................................ORPO Sends.
