Breakout




BREAKING NEWS....JAIL BREAK..... BREAKING NEWS Lancaster  SC

The brother and sister team known as Merlin and Yue staged a dramatic escape today with the aid of Maggie the dog, and Luna the White Ghost. Maggie and Luna impeded the efforts of Andy Laighleis to stop the Ying/Yang twin siblings from running out the door. Yue was quickly captured, but Merlin the Masterful evaded capture for a few minutes. It took the effort of Tiger the outside cat to corral Merlin until Andy was able to grab the escapee.  All outside animals are on the outside and all the inside animals are inside. Andy went off to purchase kitty treats for all the felines in the caper.

Spring Day


"I wandered lonely as a cloud
That floats on high o'er vales and hills,
When all at once I saw a crowd,
A host, of golden daffodils;
Beside the lake, beneath the trees,
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze."
-  William Wordsworth, Daffodils

My own Irish Blessing


May the morning sun shine softly upon you
May moon light your way on a dark night
May the winds of March be gentle and kind
May the rain of April rejuvenate you
May the blossoms of May bring joy
May the summer warmth energize you
May the autumn harvest be bountiful
May you never hunger
May you never thirst

To the love of my life, who made my life complete.

I give thanks each day and night for the love, joy, friendship that you have brought into my life.


 Words cannot describe the depth of my love, nor the joy of being your partner, lover, friend and soul mate

When facing a single tree, if you look at a single one of its red leaves, you will not see all the others. When the eye is not set on one leaf, and you face the tree with nothing at all in mind, any number of leaves are visible to the eye without limit. But if a single leaf holds the eye, it will be as if the remaining leaves were not there.

Early Spring Blessing

May the sun bring you new energy by day.
May the moon softly restore you by night.
May the rain wash away your sorrows.
May the breeze blow new strength
Into your being.
May you walk gently through the world
And know its beauty all the days of your life.
