Idea Guy

{Post: 268/365}

YOU

light me up

with laughter

with your brilliance

you are the

for sharing them with me

sharing your creativity

helps me be

creative myself

I am grateful

collaberate

The Touch of Your Hand

{Post: 120/365}

the touch if your hand

on my arm

on my waist

in the small of my back

is a comfort

it is a place

of belonging

and an

outward reflection

of our inner bond

it is a touch

of support

of encouragement

of love

and a visible

show

of the commitment

and bond

we share together

it is our strength

Limerick

{Post: 77/365}
In honor of St. Patrick's Day I wrote hubby a limerick:

There was a fine husband named Peter,

Who loved his surround sound theater

He laughed at his wife

And caused her MORE strife

Because she forgot how to use it and he'd tease her.

Hubby's Poem

{Post: 75/365}

this

poem

sucks

Mad

{Post: 71/365}

I love the way

you make me laugh

even when I am mad

especially when I am mad

and you turn on your

charming boyish smile

and sweet talk me

into smiling

and laughing

at your boyish antics

until I can't even remember

why I was mad at all

I love that

even though 

I sometimes HATE it

because I WANT to be mad!

can't a girl stay mad when she's mad?

obviously not

when she's married to

a leprechaun!!!

Your Face

{Post: 41/365}

your face

is the first thing I see

every morning

it is familiar

and beautiful

to me

it is the face

of a man who loves to laugh

it is handsome

warm and welcoming

it is full of smiles, laughter and love

for life

for friendship

for our children

for me

it is both naughty and nice

and

the twinkle in your eyes

belong in the face of

a leprechaun

or impish prankster

shown by the giggles

you create in our children

and me

I love your face

touching it softly with my fingertips

sometimes in disbelief

that I am the lucky one

and your face 

is the last thing I see

every night

before I go to sleep

love you xo

Name two of the most significant people in your life and explain why.

FIRST: My husband, Peter James Bissonette.
I cannot say often enough that he is my best friend, my soul mate, my lover, my rock, my confidant, my anchor and my life. I would be lost in this life without him.
We have been together 15 years and though I have health issues that make life and ever getting OLD a very real challenge I hope that we will have another 15 years together!!

SECOND: the sister of my soul, Nancy Hyslop. My long time friend and yes, sister...the angel that God gave me to help me watch my back. She never judges me, she always loves me and I cherish every moment that we share together in this life!!

I thank God for both of them because without them my life could surely not mean so much.

First Day of camping trip with 2 boys...

☺Having a great time already with Gib & Josh!
They've put up their tent, been swimming in the river,
Gone for a short walk to explore along the river, ridden
Their bikes, played badminton, had sandwiches and fritos for supper,
And are now getting ready to make smores in the fire...but,
We're waiting for it to get going good! ;)
Ill post pics after I get back home because I'm not sure
How to do it from here yet!

French Proverb
Forty is the old age of youth; fifty is the youth of old age.

“Maturity has more to do with what types of experiences you've had, and what you've learned from them, and less to do with how many birthdays you've celebrated.”
