Two Birthday Wishes Today!!!

What if every network of close relationships-
parents, child, sibling, grandparent, cousin,
aunt, uncle, friend- is an intelligent,
synchronous web that holds us in just the
right place, offering meaning upon meaning
and growth upon growth, experiences more
nourishing than the plates passed around the
Thanksgiving table?

(where have the years gone!? These girls are now driving!!)

Scott and I first shared a love for Rock n'Roll and exchanged Allman Brothers and Pink Floyd albums when My Builder and I first married. We shared a similar past as well...sort of.
He is a dear brother-in-law to me, and a dear friend whom I love very much. I also love the women in his life--very much---his gorgeous wife and beautiful daughters and now a most extraordinarily endearing little boy.
Life is good Scott!!
For so many reasons!!
Thanks for being part of the reason!!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!

and then.....we also have a wish for:


Happy Birthday Dear JannyFanny!!!



The bigger the box the more it holds.
Empty boxes hold the same as empty heads.
Enough small empty boxes thrown into a big empty box fill it full.
A half-empty box says, "Put more in."
A big enough box could hold the world. Elephants need big boxes to hold a dozen elephant handkerchiefs.
Fleas fold little handkerchiefs and fix them nice and neat in flea
handkerchief boxes.
Bags lean against each other and boxes stand independent.
Boxes are square with corners unless round with circles.
Box can be piled on box till the whole works comes tumbling.
Pile box on box and the bottom box say, " If you will kindly take notice you will see it all rests on me."
Pile box on box and the top one says, " Who falls furthest if
or when we fall? I ask you."
Box people go looking for boxes and bag people go looking for bags.
-Carl Sandberg

There's no empty head on my dear friend JanFanRan!!
