Category — Memes & Carnivals

Okay, it has occurred to me that I must come up with a plan for getting stuff written for our little weekend meme. I’m really bad about it and slightly lacking in inspiration at the moment. In hopes of feeling not quite as guilty this week about my non-productivity I’ve dusted off a really sappy poem from the early summer of 2000 and reworked it a tiny bit. It’s still terribly sappy, and quite possibly just terrible; but, it was pretty reflective of place and time. Thank goodness I’ve grown up and moved on since then.

The Radio Not You

Thoughts of you running through my mind
In love’s crazy maze it’s you I always find
How can you be so close at hand
Yet worlds away from me your love stands
Lying here crying for my broken heart
I wonder why I let this love start
Painfully sure what I want can’t be
Knowing you aren’t in love with me
My memories burn with your stolen kiss
I’ll never again be satisfied with this

Remembering back to a simpler time
When me loving you wasn’t a crime
Listening to the words of a forever song
The love in my heart seems to sing along
I stay here waiting on my bed
Radio on, words swimming in my head
Waiting for what my heart holds so dear
Wondering if you will ever be here
Dreaming of days with bright blue skies
Eyes flooded with tears for all the whys

For one more chance, another forbidden taste
The rest of my life I’m willing to waste
From that first wondering moment until today
Memories unwind in an instant replay
Every thought is of some how, some way
We might be together one wonderful day
The music keeps playing on and on
Each melody soothes and then is gone
As I sit waiting for what can never happen to be
I can plainly hear… and see

The radio not you is loving me…

We were thrilled to get a day warm enough, and dry enough to head down to the river for sunset. The dog enjoyed racing up and down the banking, and our girl collected tons of driftwood so she could make a pretend campfire for her dolls.

We finally had a day warm enough and dry enough to head down to the river for photos. It felt really good to be out of the house and enjoying the sun.

It wasn’t a big fancy sunset tonight but there were some really pretty peach and orange streaks in the sky. Hopefully it will be nice enough, one evening in the near future, to go to the river for some new pics.

The photo above is one taken last October during a trip to a pumpkin patch in Mississippi. I got to messing with it the other day and decided it would be perfect for a Thursday 13. So here are 13 variations on the photo above done in Paint Shop Pro XI with the names of the effect/script and setting beneath them.

So I seriously didn’t have a clue what to do for this one so I fell back on a favorite. I searched “songs about rumors” and this was the very first one to pop up.
