SERENDIPITY: Elevator

Elevator

Random teenager pics with her ipod. I am pretty sure that this in an elevator in Venice, right after we had to go find a Hungry Howies buried in a itty bitty shopping strip. Did I tell you there are no fast food joints there? That is super cool but not when you are hungry and it's late and our room was too small for food coming in. Cooper does not own that wig. I haven't been to our beach souvenir shops in so long. I am wondering if they have the type of souvenirs we saw! Bobby and I had to quickly take the kids by the hands and lead them out of the shop, acting like we had to leave quickly for food. The poster, the mugs, lets just say lots of women in itty, bitty, super itty, bitty (can't emphasize that enough) bikinis, etc. Seems like just yesterday we were there and now it is already a sweet memory (not the souvenir shop but the trip). As I get older and my time flies by, I sound like an old woman. Make the most of your days with your little ones. I used to hear that all the time when my kids were babies and now, look, I am saying it!

IF by Rudyard Kipling

If you can keep your head when all about you are losing theirs and blaming it on you; If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you, But make allowance for their doubting too; If you can wait and not be tired by waiting, or, being lied about, don't deal in lies, or being hated don't give way to hating, And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise; If you can dream - and not make dreams your master; If you can think - and not make thoughts your aim, If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster and treat those two impostors just the same; If you bear to hear the truth you've spoken twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools, Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken, and stoop and build 'em up with worn-out tools; If you can make one heap of all your winnings and risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss, and lose, and start again at your beginnings, and never breathe a word about your loss; If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew to serve your turn long after they are gone, and so hold on when there is nothing in you except the Will which says to them; "Hold on!" If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue, or walk with Kings - nor lose the common touch, If either foes nor loving friends can hurt you, If all men count with you, but none too much; If you can fill the unforgiving minute with sixty seconds' worth of distance run, Yours is the earth and everything that's in it, and which is more, you'll be a man, my son!

our last christmas, little did we know!! we miss you-you are always in our thoughts. We sold his house, it was as if we had to say goodbye again. Nothing but fond memories. Movie night, hide and go seek, fishing, the beach, pool table, weight room, ice cream, bagels, peach diet iced tea, laughing...simply you. Miss you more than you will ever know. It feels as if it was just yesterday, thank God you are "free". "With your final heartbeat, kiss the world goodbye, go in peace and laugh on Glory's side. And fly to Jesus, fly to Jesus, fly to Jesus and LIVE....." .
