Pats Posts: Is email dying?

I created this blog to record our RV trips and ;morphed into life in our retirement lane and telling my tales of life. Now my tales of life are on widowhood, my new and probably my last phase of l I have migrated to Facebook where I communicate daily, instantly with family/friends all over. I write here sometimes. COPYWRIGHT NOTICE: All photos, stories, writings on this blog are the property of myself, Patricia Morrison and may not be used, copied, without my permission most often freely given.

Addicted to reading and writing

This blog is my outlet for words. I have always loved to read and write. I suppose I am a woman of words--too many words according to Jerry! Friends and relatives often commented about letters I would write. That's pre-email. Later closest friends encouraged me to write, always thinking somewhere inside me was a best seller book. So now in retirement one would think I have time to do that but, huh uh! Where does the time go?

My new blog dedicated solely to the books I read, review and discuss is up which will allow me to have more space here.

To My Little Boy (Author Unknown)

Found this in an old Country Ideals Magazine, Vol 59, No. 3

How often as I watched you at your play
I wished that through the years, you might remain
A boy as upon a summer's day.
Changeless and glad and unaware of pain.
Memory of your laughter falls with sadness in my heart,
When you were so young, so sure, so unafraid;
You'd not heard there would be a time to part
Or that the road leads down into the shade.
Would I might have kept you from what all must learn--
The doubt, the fever, the battles lost and wild.
Would I might build a world that would not turn
To dust beneath the footsteps of a child!
Son, this can never be I know,
Yet it is out of earth that flowers grow.
