Found a new meme today – Orange You Glad It’s Friday! over at Life’s sweets and spices.
For OYGIF, I love this color – the trees outside our home blaze for a couple of weeks in early winter before the winds take a toll on them. I am glad I caught them in their fiery best a few days ago. My little ones favorite pastime in our front yard – climbing this tree – I love that these simple pleasures of childhood are part of what they enjoy (apart from the hi-tech pleasures of today)!
For Alphabe Thursday‘s letter C, it is that time of the year again – well, yes, of course, Christmas is here, the season of cheer, and for me, hot chocolate too. But this year, and specifically, this week, is a cold-front here in the Bay Area – where we love the weather!
Also, I have a Holiday Collage below for my little ones and the collages go towards other memes too..

Beginnings: and The Friday 56: –
from ‘The Humor Code’ (eARC) by Peter McGraw
Book Beginnings
‘We walk into the Squire Lounge just as the Denver watering hole is gearing up for its weekly open-mike comedy night. Looking around, Pete grins. “This is fantastic!”he yells over the ruckus, sounding like a field biologist who’s just discovered a strange new animal species.’
Pg 56 –
‘Start with attention-grabbing jokes, then put kidding aside and make your point.’
nice…pretty cool how you see your children…
mine keep me young as well…
i like him as the peacemaker as well…we need more of them
I really love your poetry. I have a son and daughter also so I can relate.
Happy weekend!
laughter is a joy isn't it – and so contagious, the most communicable of afflictions – and in children the most lovely
Lovely tribute to your children.. How different they can be. And such a source of joy.. They are like little paintings
Yes, a lovely tribute indeed.
Interesting 56: I haven't been to a comedy club in years.
Thanks for reminding me of all the ways to make verse and the links.
Your children are precious ~ Thanks for sharing their gifts to you ~
These poems are priceless. I think your children will also enjoy reading them someday!

Lady….
You sure can write with feeling!
Loved your sweet little verse 55
Thanks for playing and sharing, and have a Kick Ass Week-End
Twin medallions of commemoration for such a wonderful time in their lives. Compact and perfect verses.
Lovely poetic kisses to your children. Be sure and share them with them later in life. Thank you for participating in the prompt.
I love how you wrote a complimentary poem for each…it seems like the two go together.

I have 6 children… 4 girls, 2 boys . This made me smile. 🙂
Climbing trees and seeing the colorful changing of the leaves are some fond memories from my childhood…
Charming post for the letter "C"!
