Happy Birthday Mom!

I think it was just 2 short years ago that we had the birthday party for Mom at Arden Courts.  She looked to happy to see Carol Leonard when she came in.  I hope she didn't have too hard of a time while she suffered from Alz.  and that we made her happy.  I think we did the best we could.  I know she's happier now, so it doesn't matter any more.

Love you all,
Lel

watching "The Way" now

hope it gets happier

Raindrops and holidays

Wow, what a dreary background on the blog. We’re still suffering during the rainy season here and after being stuck yesterday, driving all over Singapore in monsoon downpours, I’d rather see sunshine. Just for future planning, it’s looking more and more like we will only be coming to Baltimore in September. Melanie’s brother, sister-in-law and sister will be coming with us to see some of the US either before or after Andy’s wedding. As we will likely be back in November too, those will be our two trips for the year. We’ll miss crab-time in Baltimore. Errrrr….. and all of you too.

I am not very good at blog design

Feel free to clean this up if anyone is ever out there looking to be creative. Other than that, I'm just writing to say, "hey."

Purple Reign

Just curious.... are the gaudy colors of the current blog format a necessary evil and the only way to work in a purple color to honor the Super Bowl champs? Some game, huh? Yet again, I was one of the few at the American Club Super Bowl viewing who was rooting for the Ravens. It's fun when we win.

Happy Birthday Michael

Posting this wish here, instead of Facebook just to be rogue.  Hope you have a special fun day.  I guess it is already over in your time zone, so have another great day tomorrow just to make up for it.

Take care,
Lel

Poem to Mom

In Mom's scrap book there was a Christmas card from someone named Bill.  He included the following poem (in very neat handwriting):

Before I heard the doctor say

There's danger in a kiss

I used to think that kissing you

Was the nearest thing to bliss

But now I know biology

And I sit and sigh and moan

Ten million mad bacteria -

I though we were alone?

 

I ran up the door

I locked the stairs

I said my shoes

and took off my prayers

I turned off the bed

And jumped into the light

And all because dear

You kissed me goodnight.

 

Just wanted to record it for posterity
