The Barbara Show: Just a Word

Just a Word

As I sit here dealing with junk and crappy connections I am thrilled to be putting "pen to paper" so to speak. My very being has been so stifled because I have been disconnected to my computer. I have managed quite well for awhile replacing the tapping of keys to the steadiness of thread and needle.

But,

like a cup on the brink of streaming puddles, my ideas are just as ready to spill forth and hopefully keep the eyes busy and the heart happy.

I have alot to say and my fingers are itching to create.

All in due time.

I can not really comment because I do not know the problem about fashion ... Fixed spirit!

Confetti would be nice - a comment even better.
Either one is greatly appreciated.

Parades

There were parades every Memorial Day, to honor our men that were brave, for the ones that made it back and the ones that didn't. Parades for Labor Day, Halloween, Christmas and just about any other holiday were a big deal in my town. Going to the Park later for a picnic and a swim at the pool was something to be yearned for but is filed safely back in the section of Heartfelt memories. Fried Chicken, Baked Beans, Potato Salad were a part of our treasured times, hearing the carousel and smelling the the cotton candy, and the lines never seem to cease when you're so thirsty for the lime soda at the concession stand, that looks straight out of "Life with Father".
I wake up and my memories are filed and I look out the window and see the litter, the lack of Norman, hear the rude obnoxious base pulsating off my windows and wonder what is so good about all of this. I walk back to the file and I pull it out once again and I 'm reminded of a time when just a parade was passing us by.
