Sometimes memories remind you ...

... that you had and HAVE conviction and heart ...
And, suddenly, just when you think you've lost the flow, you find NEW meaning in a beautiful song that has ALWAYS BEEN your favorite!

To make you laugh, I would be a fool for you
Although the people turn and stare
I really don?t care
I would give my everything to keep you, boy
It breaks my heart when you?ve not there

I?ll stage a ballet on a tabletop
Command performance vegas style
And although I ain?t got no tune
My show ain?t gonna flop 
I?ll find the music there in your eyes

Oh me, oh my, I?m a fool for you baby (baby now)
(Fool for you) Oh me oh my (I)
I am crazy (crazy baby)
Oh me, oh my (me oh my)
Yeah I?m a fool for ya baby
C?mon let your love light shine on me
(Shine on me)

We?ll blow a genie from a cigarette
And then we?ll take a magic carpet ride
Yes we will
And we?ll tell our smokey friend, hey don?t you forget
Because you?ve got to keep us side by side, yeah

Oh me, oh my (oh me, oh my)
I am a fool for ya baby (be your)
(Your fool for ya)
Oh me, oh my, (I)
You know that I am (crazy) crazy baby
(Crazy baby) yes you do (crazy baby)
Oh me, oh my (oh me, oh my)
Whoa-oh I?m a fool (fool) for ya baby
(Need your)
Come on let your love light shine on me
(Shine on me)
Would you do that? (on me)
Come on let your love light shine
Just alittle bit (shine) right on me

Oh lover let your love light
Shine on me (shine on me)
Oh hear me now!
Oh me, me oh my
I?m a fool oh! for ya baby (now)

FADES-
Oh me oh my (I)
You know that I?m cra-a-azy baby
(Crazy baby)
Oh me, oh my.......


Thank You AF!!!

Sweet Edna evening ...

Bluebeard

This door you might not open, and you did; So enter now, and see for what slight thing You are betrayed... Here is no treasure hid, No cauldron, no clear crystal mirroring The sought-for truth, no heads of women slain For greed like yours, no writhings of distress, But only what you see... Look yet again— An empty room, cobwebbed and comfortless. Yet this alone out of my life I kept Unto myself, lest any know me quite; And you did so profane me when you crept Unto the threshold of this room to-night That I must never more behold your face. This now is yours. I seek another place. xoxo Anna

Day & Night...

''Pity me that the heart is slow to learn 
What the swift mind beholds at every turn.''

Belated Yakima pic...

As per usual, I'm late on the draw with our latest vacations.  I guess it's because we rarely, if ever, get one ... not to mention TWO two weekends in a row.
Yakima, of course, was lovely.  Silas and I spent the most amazing weekend with Grammie, Grandaddy, Levi, Regan, and Great Grandad and Donna.
After settling in, we attended the Yakima County Fair.  Now, I'm not certain that any of you have attended said function.   It is, indeed, a sight/site to behold.  I don't think I've seen more teenagers in inappropriate garb in my 37 years.  These girls were walking around in half shirts that left less than little to the imagination.  It was a hoot!  On the flip side, the boys were all walking around with their pants down past their asses ... AND THEY WERE WEARING BELTS!  What the hell is the point of the belt?  That's like spending money on brand new tires and letting them ride "shotgun" in the passenger's seat, INSIDE THE FUCKING CAR!
I told my "ex-laws" that if Silas ever pulls that nonsense I'm just gonna rip his pants off and tell him to just wear his damned underwear everywhere.  No point in spending money on pants and belts if they're gonna end up on the ground anyway.  I have a feeling he won't be one of "those kids."
All in all, we had the most wonderful visit.  The seasons are changing of course.  But, the valleys in Yakima were still green with beautiful rolling hills.
Thank you so, so much to the family for taking such great care of us and showing us such a wonderful time!

p.s. Regan, you can be my wing-man ANYTIME some other adult tries to cut into a line full of kids!

Two beautiful weekends in a row...

.... Remind me how blessed  I am ...
   This damned laptop doesn't, however.
   Pics of Yakima and Disney Land will come soon.  As soon as I can get on a computer that works.
   Until then, all i can say is that (as per usual) there isn't a day that goes by that I don't  feel the love and hilarity of all these amazing creatures that make my world so rounded and sweet.
   I may have met you in a truck stop bathroom in lower Louisiana, .  But, you and I are in each others' respective worlds for a reason.
   For that reason, I love you.
xoxo,
Anna

Uh ohhhhhhh ... Anna's coming to town...

Lock your doors and neuter all your dogs/sheep/cows/& guinea pigs!!!
Ms. Nell Mooney ... the one and only ... who played "Anna" in The New Normal will be in town this coming week for an acting gig.  Now, as she has been living in London for some time, I believe her jet-lag might possibly make her psychoses even worse.
However, I will be there, by her side ... in downtown Seattle ... to squelch any altercation that she may provoke.  And let me tell you:  she is damned good with a machete!
Yayyyyyyyyyy ... so excited to see my girl!!!
