SOME WEEKENDS I HAVE HAD A RIDE OUT  TO A PLACE ALL YOU BRITS WILL KNOW.

"I WAS TAGGED"

 

 

 

               

 

           

    

 

IV'E BEEN TAGGED BY MARIE FOLKS AND I NEVER EVER DO.

 

MEMES IN MY JOURNAL BUT I'LL OBLIGE THIS TIME FOR YOU.

 

SHE ASKS ME TO NAME FOUR THINGS OF MY FAVOURITES SO HERE GOES.

 

IT REALY HAD ME THINKING AND KEPT  ME ON MY TOES .

 

1.

 

THE FIRST ONE WAS FOUR MOVIES I'D WATCH AGAIN SO RIGHT .

 

MY FIRST CHOICE IS THE RAILWAY CHILDREN THIS WAS A DELIGHT.

 

 

 

MY CHILDREN TOO THEY LOVED THIS FILM WHENEVER ON TV .

 

THEY WOULD GATHER ROUND AND THE LITTLE ONE TOO SAT UPON MY KNEE.

 

MY SECOND CHOICE WOULD HAVE TO BE BRIDGE OVER THE RIVER KWAI.

 

 

 

I LOVED THIS FILM FOR WHAT REASON I CANNOT TELL YOU WHY.

 

I HAVE WATCHED IT MANY TIMES MY FRIENDS AND I WILL NEVER BORE.

 

IT'S A CLASSIC FILM IN MY EYES AND I COULD STILL WATCH MORE.

 

THE THIRD I CHOOSE IS DIRTY DANCING SOMETHING WITH  A SWING.

 

WHEN YOUNGER  I LOVED  PATRIC SWAYZE AT THIS TIME  HE DID BRING.

 

 

       

 

 

SWOONS TO ALL THE YOUNG GIRLS WIGGLING HIS SEXY HIPS.

 

ME TOO BACK IN THEM DAYS WHEN I'D  HAD TOO MANY  SIPS.

 HE-HE.

 

FOURTH HAS TO BE THE VIKINGS AND THIS THE REASON WHY .

 

 

  

ANOTHER HEART THROB OF MINE KIRK DOUGLAS WHAT A GUY.

 

ALONGSIDE TONY CURTIS AND THE LOVELY JANET LEIGH.

 

THIS FILM WILL  PLEASE JUST  EVERYONE ESPECIALLY MOTHERHEN ME.

 

2,

 

THE NEXT FOUR ARE TV SHOWS THAT I WATCH WHEN I CAN.

 

WELL THIS ONES HARD AS I AM NOT A VERY BIG TELLY FAN.

 

I TRY TO WATCH THE ICE DANCING THAT WOULD BE MY FIRST

 

ALL THE STARS DO REALY WELL WITH THERE TWISTING AND TWIRLS.

 

I ALSO LIKE TO WATCH THE PROGRAM CALLED ANTIQUES ROAD SHOW.

 

I'M SURE IF IT CAME TO MY TOWN THEN OFF THERE  I WOULD GO.

 

THE EXPERTS THEY GIVE VALUATIONS ON YOUR GOODS PLACED THERE.

 

MANY A SHOCK DO PEOPLE GET WHEN TOLD THE VALUE STARE.

 

THE HOLIDAY DESTINATION PROGRAMS I ALSO LIKE TO SEE.

 

IF ANY OF THEM TAKE MY FANCY FOR SUMMERTIME HE-HE.

 

I LOVE THE ONE CALLED PLACE IN THE SUN THATS QUITE POPULAR.

 

BE IT OVER THE OCEAN THEY TAKE ME OR IN ENGLAND HERE NOT FAR.

 

LAST OF ALL I LOVE  TO WATCH THE TALENT OF   X FACTOR.

 

WITH SIMON COWEL AND ALL THE FUNNY OTHER CARACTURES.

 

WHO COME PRETENDING THEY CAN SING BOY IT IS A LAUGH.

 

WELL YES YOUV'E GUESSED  THATS SUITS ME GOOD OLD LAUGHING KATH.

 

3.

 

FOUR FAVOURITE THINGS TO EAT MARIE DID ASK ME IN HER MEME.

 

WELL LET ME TELL YOU THERES NOT MUCH I DO NOT LIKE IF ANY.   HE-HE.

 

FIRST I HAVE TO SAY I LOVE LAMB DINNERS OH SO MUCH.

 

THEY DEFINITELY ARE MY FAVOUTIRE BUT KEEP ME OUT OF TOUCH.

 

FROM BEING SLIM AND SLENDER BUT NOT TO WORRY NOW.

 

I EAT SMALL PORTIONS SO I DON'T TURN INTO A  FAT SOW .   HE-HE.

 

NEXT ON MY LIST WOULD HAVE TO BE ANOTHER WEIGHT GAIN TOAST.

 

I AM FOREVER  EATING THIS  IT SIMPLY IS THE MOST .

 

DELICIOUS THING TO ME WITH  BEST BUTTER PILED ON TOP.

 

OR MARMALADE WITH A NICE CUP OF TEA TO SIP WITH IT RED HOT.

 

I ALSO LOVE LASAGNE I HAVE TO EAT EACH WEEK.

 

NOT MADE MYSELF BUT IN A CAFE HERE ACROSS THE STREET.

 

IT'S SUCH A LOVELY MEAL THERE  AND THE LASAGNE 'S BEST IV'E HAD.

 

I HAVN'T BEEN THERE YET WHERE I HAVE EATEN ANYTHING BAD.

 

LAST BUT NOT LEAST I CHOOSE FOR THIS ONE SOMETHING NICE AND SWEET.

 

THOUGH NOT A BIG FAN OF SWEET THINGS THESE I LIKE TO EAT.

 

THERE FRANZIPANS I LOVE THE LARGE ROUND LOVELY  TART.

 

MARZIPAN I COULD EAT FOREVER I LOVE IT WITH ALL MY HEART .

 

4.

 

FOUR PLACES I WOULD RATHER BE WELL LET ME THINK NOW PLEASE.

 

FIRST SAT IN A GLOURIOUS GARDEN WITH MY CHILDREN ON MY KNEES.

 

WAY BACK WHEN THEY WERE SMALL IS JUST WHAT I WOULD LOVE.

 

SO IBEST CHOOSE ANOTHER BECAUSE I KNOW THIS CARN'T BE HEAVENS ABOVE.

 

SECOND CHOICE WOULD BE TO LIVE AROUND MY FAMILY .

 

SO I COULD CALL AND SEE THEM WHENEVER THE FANCY TOOK ME.

 

PLAYING WITH MY GRANDCHILDREN  AT GAMES AND THINGS AS WELL.

 

NOT TO WORRY THEY ARE ALL HEALTHY AND ALL ARE LOOKING SWELL.

 

MY THIRD I THINK WOULD BE TO HAVE A DREAM OF MINE COME TRUE.

 

TO BUILD MY OWN LITTLE DWELLING PLACE JUST BIG ENOUGH FOR TWO.

 

OUT THERE IN THE COUNTRY   SOMEWHERE TRANQUIL AND SERENE.

 

MAYBE A PLACE I HAVE YET TO FIND SOMEWHERE I HAVN'T BEEN.

 

FOURTH WOULD BE TO HAVE  A GATHERING OF EVERY J/LAND MEMBER I KNOW. .

 

TO ALL MEET UP AND HAVE A BALL WOULDN'T THAT BE SOMETHING SO.

 

WE COULD WHINE AND WITTER ALL DAY LONG TO OUR HEARTS CONTENT.

 

ABOUT ALL OUR LOVELY COMMENTS ONE ANOTHER WE HAVE SENT.  HE-HE.

 

5.

 

FOUR THINGS I LOOK FORWARD TO THIS YEAR I'VE TO  TELL YOU NOW .

 

I DON'T THINK THAT  I HAVE MUCH  ON MY CALENDER SOMEHOW.

 

I KNOW I INTEND TO LOOK AROUND AND SEE IF I CAN FIND.

 

SOMEWHERE ELSE I WANT TO LIVE WELL THATS BEEN ON MY MIND.

 

ANOTHER ONE WOULD HAVE TO BE TO VISIT BACK HOME MORE.

 

ON THE BUS NOT BY CAR AS TRAVELLING I ADORE.

 

THE BUS GOES ON A SCENIC ROUTE AND QUITE A NICE LONG RIDE.

 

DURING SUMMER MONTHS WHEN THE SUNS SHINING OUTSIDE.

 

LAST WOULD BE TO HOPEFULLY LOSE WEIGHT SO I CAN THEN.

 

WALK FASTER AND NOT WADDLE ROUND LIKE A MOTHERHEN.   HE-HE.

 

PAY MORE ATTENTION TO MYSELF INSTEAD OF PLEASING OTHERS.

 

AS I DON'T THINK WE DO THIS ENOUGH AT ALL DO WE US MOTHERS.

 

6.

 

THE LAST ONE WAS TO TAG FOUR MORE BUT I AM SAYING NO.

 

IF YOU FANCY DOING THIS THEN GO AHEAD AND THERE YOU GO.

 

PUT ONE IN YOUR JOURNAL FOR OTHERS THERE TO READ.

 

I HOPE YOU DO AND I HOPE YOU ALL FIND IT EASY AND SUCCEED.

 

I FOUND IT QUITE HARD WORK WHEN I AM FEELING KINDA LOW..

 

BUT MARIE KNOWS I WOULDN'T LET HER DOWN AND I WOULD HAVE A GO. 

 

SO I HOPE YOU ENJOY MY ANSWERS HERE IV'E GIVEN IT A GO THIS TIME.

 

MOTHERHENS MEME MARIE TAGGED  ME TO DO HERE IN "MY SIMPLE RHYME"

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

"IS FEBRUARY GOING TO BE THE SAME"

 

                              

                 

            

           Thanx to Winivere for this great graphic she made for  me.                                 

 

 

WELL THIS YEAR FOR ME HASN'T SET OFF TOO GOOD  EVERY WEEK THERES SOMETHING GONE WRONG..

 

FIRST THOSE COWBOY  BUILDERS BANGING MY WINDOWS AND DROPPING DUST ON.

 

ALL MY  NEW STAIRCASE CARPET  PLASTER DUST GRIME EVERYWHERE.

 

ALSORTS OF DEBRI THEY DROPPED UP AND DOWN FROM THE EMPTY FLAT UP THERE.

 

THEN CAME MY ELECTIC TRIP SWITCH IT DIDN'T KNOW WHEN TO STAY ON.

 

EVERYTIME I USED MY NEW COOKER TO BAKE THE ELECTRIC WAS GONE.

 

I WAITED FOR AN ELECTRICIAN AND WAS UNABLE TO COOK.

 

WAITED SO LONG I THOUGHT HE MUST HAVE TAKEN HIS FLIPPING HOOK .

 

SO FOR TWO WEEKS WITHOUT A HOT MEAL FOLKS AS I DON'T LIKE MICROWAVES.

 

REALY WAS SO ANNOYING TO ME I WENT INTO LOTS OF RAVES.

 

THEN BELIEVE IT OR NOT FRIENDS OTHER BAD THINGS HAVE ALSO  HAPPENED TOO.

 

SOME DAYS I HAVN'T  KNOWN WHERE TO TURN OR REALY WHAT TO DO..

 

THIS LITTLE FLAT I HAVE BY THE SEASIDE IT'S  ALL GOT TOO MUCH FOR ME.

 

I BELIEVE BROUGHT MY DEPRESSION BACK  ON NOTHINGS GONE  RIGHT YOU SEE.

 

WELL I GOT UP THIS SATURDAY MORNING AND THE WEATHER WAS BITTERLY  COLD.

 

MY CENTRAL HEATING WOULDN'T WORK THEN AND THE BOILER IS NOT VERY OLD.

 

IT'S QUITE A NEW ONE ABOUT EIGHTEEN MONTHS LIVID STOOD LIKE FROZEN ICE.

 

MADE ME REALISE WE TAKE FOR GRANTED THE HEAT WHICH WE HAVE IT'S SO NICE.

 

IN THIS BITTER FREEZING  WEATHER I TRIED MY BEST TO GET THE BOILER TO FIRE.

 

BUT NO IT WAS HAVING NOTHING SO NO HOT WATER TO WASH MY SPARE TYRE.

                                                                                                      (MINE NOT THE CARS ) HE-HE.

 

I HAD AN EMERGENCY NUMBER TO RING TURNED  OUT  WAS AN ANSWER PHONE.

 

WHATS THE POINT OF THAT MY FRIENDS IN EMERGENCIES KNOWONE AT HOME .

 

SO THIS WEEKEND HAS NOT BEEN A PLEASANT ONE I HAVE WRAPPED UP IN LOTS TO KEEP WARM.

 

THERE LONG ENOUGH DAYS WITHOUT BEING COLD  WHEN I'M UP AT THE CRACK OF DAWN.

 

YES I DO HAVE SOME ELECTRIC HEATERS BUT THEY ARE EXPENSIVE TO RUN.

 

AND MY LAST ELECTRICTY BILL WAS ENORMOUS SO JANUARY HASN'T BEEN MUCH  FUN.

 

THE WASHER IT BOILS IT'S BACKSIDE OFF EVERY DAY OF THE WEEK.

 

AND MY COOKERS FOREVER ON THE BOIL AND COMPUTER FOR ME TO PEEK.

 

I HAVE LOTS OF TABLE LAMPS WHICH I LIGHT UP AS THE DAYS HAVE BEEN SO DARK TOO.

 

ALL THESE GADGETS TAKE MONEY TO RUN THEM BUT HELP  ME FROM FEELING BLUE.

 

WELL NOW THE GAS BOILERS PLAYING IT'S TRICKS AND IT STARTED ON SATURDAY.

 

I AM HOPING AND PRAYING THAT FEBRUARY ISN'T GOING TO GO THE SAME WAY.

 

I FEEL AS THOUGH I HAVE KILLED A ROBIN NO LUCK AT ALL JUST OF LATE.

 

YOU ALL KNOW THAT LAUGHING KATH DOESN'T LIKE TO BE MISERABLE IT'S SOMETHING I HATE.

 

THERES MANY THINGS ELSE THAT HAVE HAPPENED FAR TOO MANY TO MENTION IN HERE.

 

SO I'M ASKING FOR PRAYERS FOR THE FIRST TIME MY FRIENDS AS I KNOW YOU ARE ALL SO DEAR.

 

THEN MAYBE THINGS MIGHT TAKE A TURN AND I CAN START LAUGHING AGAIN.

 

INSTEAD OF ME HAVING TO WRITE MISERABLE THINGS AS FOR  ME THIS  IS SUCH A PAIN.

 

I AM SAT HERE NOW IN MY DRESSING GOWN WRITING THIS RHYME TO  POST.

 

WITH A HOT CUP OF CHOCOLATE AND THREE OR FOUR SLICES OF LOVELY HOT BUTTERED TOAST.

 HE-HE.

 

I BINGE WHEN I AM SO MISERABLE SO MY DIET HAS GONE WITH THE WIND .

 

WHICH I SAID I WOULD START IN JANUARY ALL THE SLIMMING FOODS I HAVE BINNED.

 

HE-HE.

 

WELL I CANNOT KEEP WARM ON SALADS AND FRUIT  I NEED SOMETHING GOOD IN MY TUM.

 

ANYWAY I CARN'T BE BOTHERED NOW IV'E LOST INTEREST IT'S  ALRIGHT FOR SOME.

 

SO WISH ME LUCK WILL YOU PLEASE J/LAND AND LETS HOPE THINGS  PICK UP SOON.

 

OR I MIGHT BE MOVING OUT ONE NIGHT BY THE LIGHT OF THE SILVERY MOON .  HE-HE.

 

LOOKING FOR SOMEWHERE ELSE AS THIS PLACE DOESN'T SEEM LUCKY FOR ME.

 

NOTHINGS GONE RIGHT SINCE I MOVED TO THE COAST AND TO LIVE HERE BY THE SEA.

 

I KNOW I MAKE YOU ALL LAUGH AT TIMES AND  I LOVE TO DO THAT EVEN SO.

 

WHEN TIMES ARE BAD AND NOTHING IS RIGHT AND THINGS THEY DON'T SEEM TO GO.

 

SMOOTHLY FOR ME I'M A FIGHTER BUT I FEEL OF LATE ALLS TOO MUCH.

 

IT GETS TO THE HEART OF ANYONE WHEN EVERYTHING  GOES WRONG AS SUCH.

 

OH WELL I WILL SIT AND WAIT FOR THE GAS MAN AND SEE WHAT HE HAS TO SAY.

 

I HOPE I DON'T HAVE TO WAIT FOR PARTS FOR THE BOILER ANOTHER DAY.

 

MY WASHING IS PILING UP SKY HIGH AND I DO THIS DAILY YOU SEE.

 

I ALSO CARN'T COPE WITHOUT A BATH OR A SHOWER WITH MERMAN HE-HE.

 

FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO DON'T LNOW MERMAN HE'S A GRAPHIC WHICH RUSS DREW FOR ME.

 

AS I LOVE MERMAIDS HE THOUGHT A MERMAN WOULD BE MORE APPROPRIATE HE-HE.

 

IT IS BITTERLY COLD AND I'M FROZEN THROUGH HYPERTHYROIDISM I SUFFER WITH.

 

WITHOUT ANY  HEATING I'M SHIVERING BADLY AND I FEEL I AM READY TO GIVE.

 

UP ON MYSELF FRIENDS AT THIS TIME SO TRY  SAY A PRAYER FOR ME PLEASE.

 

THAT ALL THESE THINGS WHICH  KEEP HAPPENING TO ME WILL SOON GO AWAY AND EASE.

 

I HAVE HAD A BARROW LOAD JUST LATELY NOT  MENTIONING ALL OF THEM.

 

I KNOW YOU WON'T LIKE ME WHEN I AM MISERABLE AND A MOANING OLD  "MOTHERHEN ".

 

SO I'LL CLOSE NOW AND WISH YOU ALL A GOOD DAY  UNTIL I AM BACK NEXT TIME.

 

HOPING I'M HAPPY WARM AND LAUGHING AND  WRITiNG MORE  " MY SIMPLE RHYMES "

 

 

         

  Thanx to Chris of Cab's Creations for this lovely graphic.

I DON'T OFTEN WEAR MUCH OF THIS NOWADAYS  AS I DO NOT GO OUT MUCH  YOU SEE.

 

NECKLACES OF EVERY DESIGN WITH EARINGS TO MATCH THERE TOO.

 

COSTUME JEWELLERY  FIRST I CLEARED ALL THE REDS AND BLACKS AND BLUE.

 

WHITES AND PINKS AND LILACS ALL COLOURS UNDER THE SUN.

 

 

 

 

OH IT TOOK ME HOURS TO SORT THEM ON DOING SO I HAD MUCH FUN.

 

AS EACH PIECE BROUGHT A MEMORY OF SOME EVENT I'D BEEN ON.

 

OUTINGS AND GATHERINGS OF FAMILY WHEN TO WEDDINGS AND THINGS WE HAVE GONE.

 

THEN CAME THE SORTING OF HAIR ORNAMENTS YES I HAVE LOTS IN STORE.

 

AS I HAVE HAD  MY HAIR FAIRLY LONG FOR MANY A YEAR AND MORE.

 

 

        

                       

 

SO ON SPECIAL OCCASIONS I USUALY WEAR

SOMETHING ADORNING  MY HAIR.

 

AS IN THE PICTURE BELOW HERE YOU  SEE SOME FLOWERS IN MY HAIR THERE .

 

  

 

THIS WAS AT SOMEONES WEDDING A COUPLE OF YEARS  AGO NOW.

 

I WAS  LOOKING DOWN AT MY GRANDAUGHTER DANCING AWAY OH WOW.

 

THEY DIDIN'T WANT ANYONE IN HATS SO I HAD TO TRIM UP MY HAIR.

 

OTHERWISE DO NOT AKS ME WHY I THINK I WOULD HAVE FELT BARE.

 

SO YES EACH PIECE I SORTED A MEMORY IT  BROUGHT MY WAY.

 

OF ME ENJOYING MYSELF ALL DRESSED UP ON SOME CELEBRATION  DAY.

 

ALMOST LIKE WHENYOU HEAR CERTAIN MUSIC IT BRINGS TO YOUR MIND THE SAME.

 

A MEMORY OF SOMETHING IN THE TUNE TAKES YOU WONDERING DOWN OLD MEMORY LANE.

 

WELL THE JEWELLERY AND THINGS FINALLY SORTED IT TOOK  ME MANY HOURS.

 

SO I THEN WENT OUT AND DECIDED TO TAKE A FEW SNAPS OF MY FLOWERS.

 

I THOUGHT I MIGHT CHEER YOU UP MY FRIENDS FROM THESE LONG DARK DISMAL DAYS.

 

WE HAVE ALL BEEN EXPERIANCING RAINSTORMS AND WINDS BUT NOT MANY SUNSHINE RAYS.

 

YET MY LITTLE PANSIES HAVE DONE SO WELL THEY ARE BLOOMING AND BOWING THERE HEADS .

 

EACH MORNING I GO TO TEND THEM AND PLUCK OFF THE ONES THAT ARE DEAD.

 

IN THE BITING WIND THEY FLOURISH AND LIVING HERE AT THE COAST.

 

THROUGH ALL THE GALES AND THE SALT AIR AROUND THERE CERTAINLY PROVING THE MOST.

 

HEALTHY LOOKING PANSIES AND I WISH I COULD SAY THE SAME.

 

FOR ME MYSELF MY FRIENDS BUT I CANNOT THAT WOULD BE REALY VAIN.

 

SO I HOPE THESE FEW LITTLE PANSIES FOR THOUGHT HAVE CHEERED YOU ALL TODAY .

 

AND LETS HOPE NOW WE ARE ALMOST IN  FEBRUARY SPRING SOON WILL BE ON ITS WAY.

 

OH HOW I LOVE THE SPRINGTIME WITH DAFFY'S AND TULIPS AND SUCH .

 

YOU KNOW HOW I LOVE MY FLOWERS AND I MISS MY GARDENS SO MUCH.

 

 

 

NOT TO WORRY AS LONG AS I HAVE MY POTS AT LEAST THERE SHOWING THERE WORTH .

 

AS NEARER GODS HEART IN A GARDEN THAN ANYWHERE ELSE ON EARTH.

 

SO ONCE AGAIN A MEMORY THESE TINY PANSIES BROUGHT ME.

 

GROWING THERE IN THAT TINY POT ORANGES AND LEMONS YOU SEE.

 

OF ALL MY DELIGHTFUL GARDENS IV'E MADE WHEN I USED TO HAVE LARGE PLOTS.

 

IT'S NOT THE SIZE OF THE GARDEN  BECAUSE " LITTLE THINGS MEAN A LOT ".

 

 

 

ISN'T IT STRANGE HOW SORTING MY JEWELERY AND SORTING MY HAIR ONAMENTS .

 

BROUGHT  ME A DAY OF JOY AND BROUGHT ME SUCH MEMORIES AND  SENTIMENTS.

 

SO WHEN  ALL WAS   FINALLY SORTED OUT AND ALL THINGS WERE TIDY AND FINE.

 

I SAT DOWN RELAXED AND DECIDED TO WRITE YOU ANOTHER OF                            

 

                              " MY SIMPLE RHYMES ".

 

 

                      HAVE A LOVELY DAY EVREYONE

 

         

                   

 

              KATH    ASTORIASAND

 

 

 

"THIRTY TWO YEARS AGO

       

 

WHERE HAVE THE LAST THIRTY TWO YEARS GONE WOULDN'T I LIKE TO KNOW.

 

LOOKING BACK AT THIS PHOTOGRAPH I WONDERED THEN WHERE WE WOULD GO .

 

AS AT THIS PARTICULAR TIME IN LIFE I WAS LEFT  WITH THREE CHILDREN SMALL.

 

I HAD NO IDEA WHAT LIFE HAD  IN STORE AND I HAD NO CARES AT ALL.

 

YET WHEN I CAME ACROSS THIS PICTURE I THOUGHT TO MYSELF WELL KATH

 

LOOKING AT YOU THERE SMILING YOU  MUST STILL HAVE HAD STRENGTH TO LAUGH.

 

THE ELDEST SON  JUST SEVEN YRS OLD THEN NEXT SON THREE AND A HALF .

 

MY DAUGHTER TEN MONTH OLD AND ME WEARING MY BANDANA SCARF.

 

I HAD GONE ON A DAY TRIP OUT TO WALES WITH A FRIEND SO KIND TO ME THEN.

 

I AM  SAT AT THE TOP OF CAERNARFON CASTLE IN THEM DAYS WALES WAS A JEM.

 

THE PREVIOUS YEAR I HAD BEEN SO ILL WHEN EXPECTING MY BABY GIRL..

 

COMPLICATIONS SET IN AT THREE MONTHS AND EVERYTHING WENTIN A WHIRL .

 

I HAD ACUTE APPENDICITIS AND A GALL BLADDER OP AS WELL.

 

THEN I HAD AN ABCESS REMOVED FROM MY UTERUS TOO PAINFUL FOR ME TO TELL .

 

THE SURGEON TOLD MY PARENTS IT WAS MY LIFE OR THE BABES.

 

UNTIL ANOTHER SPECIALIST STEPPED IN AND HIM OUR LIVES HE SAVED.

 

SIX MONTHS OF OPERATIONS AND BED REST UNTIL THE DAY.

 

MY BABY GIRL WAS DELIVERED IN THE ORDINARY  NORMAL WAY.

 

I WAS VERY WEAK ON COMING HOME AND FOUGHT WITH ALL OF MY MIGHT.

 

THOUGH AT ONE POINT DURING MY HOSPITAL STAY I DID GIVE THEM ALL A FRIGHT.

 

SO WHEN I RECOVERED AND I WAS THEN LEFT WITH MY CHILDREN THREE.

 

I WAS ASKED IF I'D LIKE THIS DAY OUT AND SO I QUICKLY  DID AGREE.

 

THE YEAR WAS 1976 AND I REMEMBER THE WEATHER  RED HOT.

 

THATS MAYBE WHY I HAVE THE BANDANA PLONKED ON MY TOP KNOT HE-HE.

 

 

LOOKING BACK NOW I THINK OF THE TIME HOW I WORRIED WHAT LIFE HAD IN STORE.

 

TODAY AS I LOOK AT THIS PHOTOGRAPH I DON'T THINK I COULD WISH FOR MORE.

 

TIMES HAVE BEEN HARD AND IV'E STRUGGLED BUT ALSO TIMES HAVE BEEN GOOD.

 

SO MUCH SO IF WE COULD TURN AROUND I KNOW I SURELY WOULD.

 

LIVE OVER THOSE YEARS I HAVE TRAVELLED I'M SO THANKFUL FOR ALL I HAVE HAD.

 

IT COULD HAVE BEEN BETTER IT COULD HAVE BEEN WORSE BUT I TAKE THE GOOD WITH THE BAD .

 

LOOK HOW SLIM THE CHILDREN WERE  IN THEM DAYS FOLKS CAN YOU  SEE.

 

SOMETIMES ON THESE OLD PHOTOGRAPHS THEY LOOK SKELETAL TO ME.

 

THOUGH I FEEL BECAUSE THEY ATE WHAT WE COOKED GOOD FOOD NOT LIKE TODAY.

 

I NEVER BOUGHT ANYTHING  IN TINS OR JARS AND NO FAST FOODS DOWN OUR WAY.

 

ALL THE PROCESSED STUFF THATS AROUND ON SALE FOR THE KIDS IN THIS AGE.

 

CHIPS AND BEEFBURGERS FAST FOODS ETC  SEEM NOW TO BE ALL THE RAGE.

 

SO I DO BELIEVE THE DOCTORS ARE RIGHT IN MANY THINGS WHICH THEY SAY.

 

ABOUT THE GROWING DIABETES CHILDREN ARE EXPERIANCING  TODAY.

 

WELL THE PICTURE ABOVE I JUST LOVE IT OF THE CHILDREN  WHEN THEY  WERE SMALL.

 

THERE  IN WALES A SINGLE MOTHER  OUTSIDE THE FLORAL HALL.

 

OH ISN'T IT GOOD TO LOOK BACK AT OLD PICTURES WHEN WE HAVE LOTS OF TIME.

 

I LOVE TO GO BACK TO THEM DAYS BUILDING SAND CASTLES SAYING NURSERY RHYMES .

 

IF WE KNEW BACK THEN WHAT WE KNOW NOW BACK IN THOSE DAYS OF OLD.

 

I STILL WOULDN'T CHANGE A THING IN MY LIFE WHICH A LITTLE OF IT I HAVE TOLD.

 

CHILDREN KEEP YOU YOUNG AT HEART AND THEY KEEP YOU ON YOUR TOES.

 

EVERYONE WHO HAS HAD A FAMILY WILL UNDERSTAND THIS AND  KNOW.

 

AHHHH  WELL THOSE THIRTY TWO YEARS HAVE PASSED NOW AND IT IS 2008.

 

I HAVE LOVED EVERY MINUTE OF ALL OF THEM EACH ONE OF THEM  WERE GREAT.

 

I DID HAVE ANOTHER SON AFTER THIS TIME TO MY ROOSTER IN  SEVENTY NINE.

 

EVEN THOUGH I HAD BEEN TOLD NOT TO EVERYTHING  TURNED OUT FINE.

 

THROUGH TIMES OF TROUBLE AND SADNESS WE ALL SEEM TO WIN THROUGH SOMEHOW..

 

YES THERE IS LIGHT AT THE END OF THE TUNNEL WHEN YOUR THINKING YOU  DON'T KNOW HOW.

 

TO MAKE ENDS MEET AND WHERE YOU ARE GOING OR WHATS GOING TO HAPPEN NEXT.

 

SO DON'T GET UPSET BECAUSE BELIEVE ME IV'E  HAD ROUGH TIMES AND BEEN VEXED.

 

BUT THE GOOD LORD HE HELPED ME THROUGH IT ALL AND HERE I AM AT THIS TIME.

 

THIRTY TWO YEARS PAST  MY FAMILY GROWN UP  AND STILL WRITING " MY SIMPLE RYHME "

 

                

                                    

 

 THANX TO CHRIS OF CAB'S CREATIONS FOR THIS LOVELY GRAPHIC.
