“Hope” is the thing with feathers

BY EMILY DICKINSON


“Hope” is the thing with feathers -
That perches in the soul -
And sings the tune without the words -
And never stops - at all -

And sweetest - in the Gale - is heard -
And sore must be the storm -
That could abash the little Bird
That kept so many warm -

I’ve heard it in the chillest land -
And on the strangest Sea -
Yet - never - in Extremity,
It asked a crumb - of me.

Obviously I have been writing less these days.We have been on the go alot and it is hard to find the time to focus on writing. My interest has waned, taken over by our grandchildren.I never thought I would have so many! Anyway-The tropical storm coming in has caused a slight change of our plans so we will have to remain home-based a few more days, but the RV is tuned and ready to go. Fortunately my youngest son dropped by yesterday with my grandsons. It was a beautiful day and we went out to eat at a place with an outdoor patio.It was a guys day out for them.Robbie was picking up his car after getting the airconditioning fixed. Lamecha had the girls and was taking her mom to the doctor.RJ and Quay were sweet and well behaved.The whole family is suppose to join us Saturday at an RV resort but the storm has modified those plans.Hopefully, it will only be delayed.
I am listening to Wade playing the keyboard

interesting communal ode
05/23/2013 12:33 p.m.
"to outwit the nature, didactic in me"
to loose threads, my straight jacket crackles in jive;
madness unwinds words, tangles kind and unkind.
too few crows for a murder. too many ravens for a chat.
and yet a smile persists through the grating of rusted bars
dried blood red on pinioned wings
hid among oyster shells the pearls cringe, waiting for the waves to wash in.

punctuation?

anyways, I like this :0

*Babies*

I hope my baby's[Wade]dental woes clear up soon or we'll be doomed! Lol...for soon we will be babysitting the twins over the Mother's Day weekend.In our down time,we've made joint visits to the dentist while the RV has been in the shop for routine maintenance in preparation for our next trip outside the state.Wade had to have a tooth pulled and has been having problems with pain associated with it. I may need to get him back to the dentist to check it and get more pain meds if still needed. Lamecha and Robbie are going on a cruise and will bring the twins to us tomorrow[Wed]. The RV is parked in front of our home so I can get it stocked and packed,including bassinetts. We are taking the babies with us and leaving to spend some time at Sycamore Lodge,our local home away from home.I can't wait to help out and take care of the babies-they are awesome!

[ps-pics coming later]

He was born on September 10, 2011 and I'll never forget because Johnny almost didn't make it into this world because of his mother's health problems.She lost a baby at 8 months around 5 years ago and then Lilly[now 4]came along but was also a difficult birth.I thank God everyday that I have the priviledge to be a grandmother. We have 6 grandchildren now, three grandsons and three granddaughters plus two St.Bernards,of which Moose is featured in this pic.Wade and I are very happy these days.I never thought it possible we could overcome our adversities and get back what we lost.I had buried all hope.But, miraculously, we did overcome.Our love has rekindled stronger than it was in the beginning.We do feel like young lovers again-with grandchildren! LOL
Correction- eight grandchildren.Even tho not married,Robbie and Lamecha are going to live under one roof and hopefully become a family. That said, her older two asked if they could be my grandchildren too...and of course, I said yes.

The Twins
04/08/2013 01:38 p.m.
Lamecha and Robbie are finally getting along. Maybe it took the birth of their twins to trigger the change.The biggest enemy for anybody is insecurity.I thank the Lord she did not abort the babies.I don't believe in abortion as a birth control and believe it is without a doubt murder in advanced pregnancy. She originally wanted money from me to abort the pregnancy but changed her mind.Then they found out they were having twins-a boy and a girl.I had fears in the beginning of all this.But they are gone.I have prayed about this very much and I have given it over to Him, starting with trusting in Him. Lamecha is doing much better now mentally and they have future plans to be together and raise their family.She is a very good mother and her positive energy is coming back. She is radiating with her natural beauty.I thank God for all of them and his blessings every day.Robbie is in school doing well,jail behind him now. Last week he got his driver's license back.He's just 22 but he fiercely loves their babies. I believe now, that they are the motivation Robbie needed to change his life around. He is the all American kid who was felled on a Friday before Mother's Day at the skatepark, naive to the scene at 16.
