Enjoy the beauty that surrounds
The gifts you were born with
the wisdom you've accumulated
Then Celebrate in all the glory that's you!
Sunday Scribblings "LATE" which I will admit is my middle name!
I promised myself I would never make my child late, to date I haven't!
Inspired by a blog I read on keeping it real
She exhibited a jumble of imperfection
But I won’t go in that direction
If I want to air my vast disarray
Last week would have been the perfect display
Clothes strewn across my whole top floor
Ousted from their space, in piles galore
Daughter’s closet broke down, being over taxed
She decided to renovate, build new racks
I was worried how long it take to install
Out of town guest to visit, a mess wall to wall
I was grumpy, crabby, worried, I stewed
My mouth got to pumping out things that were rude
Fear engulfed my good nature, snuffed it away
As I stumbled over closet assortments day after day
Got to the point I couldn’t say a word,
Sour look on my face as though suffering gerd!
So I crossed my fingers hoped it would be done
A miracle of miracles, the process begun
Painting, hammering, screwing with a drill
Painstakingly purging, and packing, what a thrill!
Time to resume our holiday routine
Fresh sheets on the bed, things to straighten and clean
Finally tranquility floated like tissue taken to wind
Wiping out chaos, ugly thoughts I’d rescind
The day had arrived for my friend to appear
I prepared a special supper for when she got here
Road closure, a blizzard made her four hours late
When she finally arrived, she already ate!
We laughed!
So happy she was safe!

What beautiful photos and a great poem.
hahaha LOve your sense of humor! Suffering gerd! was too perfectly funny!
Glad your closet disaster is over. I get the same exact way with disarray! My family hates that trait in me! I really find it difficult to function daily if things are crazy messy. A little bit I can handle. So happy your friend arrived safely.
HEY! I miss u!! xox
Not participating, but wanted to comment. All the Christmas photographs are beautiful. Wow, really great decorations. I like the saying beneath each too.
Have a terrific day. Big hug. :)
I always find your photos so whimsical I just want to escape into them.
Lovely photos. My daughter often makes me late. Love the humor!
Nice one! and I always enjoy your pics.
I'm a stickler for being on time. Actually I guess "Early" would have to be my middle name. I fret when anyone is late, imagining the worst.
Gorgeous decorations and a lively and entertaining poem!
Ha. I know the feeling(s)! Glad she arrived safely!
Photos are full of charming happiness and the closet is a nifty thing! Late is hard to cope with...
Happy everything to you!
Hi Sherrie! Long time no blog! Your Christmas decor is so gorgeous! Very magical. The poem is so funny...I ca see it all unfolding! we are having a blizzard in Portland even as we type!
Your humor and sensibility keeps you in check. Great poem & Photos. Oh, usually my kids are not late, but it's happened and been my fault and I used to be an "early" person.
