Precious-memories! Ahh!

 

Sundays---

 

 

People become "perturbed"---maybe...

even Angry with me for my "positive" bearing.

 

I tend to smile---a lot...makes people nervous. Hmm!

 

That I do lead, and always have, a charmed life---

isn't by my deign...I seem to be the "victim" of Love!

 

Now, just maybe I "ain't" very bright---I think the very

best 4 years of my life attests to that conclusion by my

detractors...3rd grade, the best "4" years of my life 

 

I recently met a former (long-ago) school mate; she

promptly informed, looking down a long-pointed nose

that she had written a book! Wow! Not to display my

ignorance (and lack of "wit") I quickly bellicose-chirped,

"Yeah!---Uh!?...Well! Somebody read me one!"

 

Guess I sure enough showed her; she is still laughing!?

 

When the weather offers pleasant sunshine caressing

perfect temperatures embracing a gorgeous day, even

the "perpetual-victims" will grudgingly acknowledging it.

 

Too such "ridiculous" negativity, I reply, "Every day!'

 

Gee! I like: rain, sun, snow, sleet, ice, hail, wind---Life!

 

Lo! These many  years, now, on Sunday our family had a

routine: Breakfast, church, Mom's southern fired-chicken

for lunch, a six mile trip to visit beloved Grandparents at

"The farm" (a  favorite refuge) or to Fox Lake (another

top-spot) for the afternoon with extended family and friends.

 

We celebrated one another---and...our wondrous life experience!

 

The farm offered good friends and relatives enjoying food

and talk and discussion and fun-time event-activities like

home-made ice cream, wild Morel-mushroom hunting,

fishing at the ponds, trips to pick up pecans down yonder

along the Kaskaskia River at Evansville, picnics, and more.

 

I love Winter, second only to Fall; then, Spring and Summer;

each is delightfully-exceptional and very close in popularity;

I can sip a cup of hot tea observing January frigid-snow, walk

the forest-fauna hills searching out wild mushrooms, fly-cast

an offering for Red-ear sunfish in the deep hole along the bank,

marvel at the fantastic thunderstorm, and, always thoroughly

embrace the absolute treasure of a whitetail scouting foray

amid the hardwoods ablaze with regal-royal paegent-colors.

 

Life---is "what" you make it!...Easy for "simple-humble" me!

 

Ahh! Sunday---Love! So exceedingly-blessed!

 

Live! Love! Laugh! & Faith! Family! Freedom!

 

Amen!
