Dear husband, the dryer was squeaking.
Shrill yips escalated to shrieking.
You researched the brand
and ordered a band.
From me, you’ll get no more critiquing.
With much love and good humor,
Our ever-tumbling, twenty-year-old dryer


Image

Poppie,
Although I think you are funny and love you lots, I love Grammie too and think you should spoil her, buy her flowers, gifts, and vacations. She promises to teach me to make yummy P-cakes. Xoxo

Your knack for logic & direction and my spatio-temporal turbulence make for a fine-tuned GPS.

Image

Three little birds
too soon will fledge.
They will spread their wings
and make their own little nests.
Riding the currents
in the blue sky.
May they remember
how they learned to fly.


Image

Noses are red,
Noses are cold.
Noses test boyfriends,
and sometimes to-MAH-toes!
And maybe a kitten’s head!
And noses bog down,
Noses get chapped,
Noses get plugged;
But they wouldn’t,
if you let me kiss it!

To my thoughtful teen, finding his way,
My goofy guy who brightens each day,
My strong, shining girl with drive and grace,
My sweet pup, my shadow on every pace,
And Smoosh — soft love in a furry embrace.

Planning gardens, selecting flowers,
Training in pre-dawn hours.
Organizing AI integration,
While celebrating humanity in corporations.
JPB, how lucky I got,
With you dissolving my knots.
Grateful for how you create and listen,
And doze off to British hobbyist competitions.

Three fledglings:
Flown, part-time,
Preparing to Fly,
Comfortably nested, though stretching your wings,
Looking outwards, hoping for clear skies,
Still sheltered from so many storms.
We the nest
A bit older, and worn but still warm,
Still holding you.

Follow me up the mountains.  I will follow you down the slopes. Micro-spikes or skis? Even better if there wasn’t any ice. Maybe sailing this summer instead? A fall marathon or a long walk, or both? Miss the kids. XOXO

M: It’s been a long time since High School, but…

That knows me like you do
The way you do
And I’ve never had someone
As good for me as you

Our house is a mess, Keith, you know it’s true.
Half-painted walls, unframed art to name just a few.
But we have more fun, more cheer — it’s a laugh
I choose this life with you, by well more than half.

Always and forever,
