Unfunny

October 30, 2009July 7, 2020Mary Jo4 Comments on Unfunny

A sweet little child named Bunny,
Had an outlook on life that was sunny.
She could sing in the rain,
She could laugh through great pain,
But to mock her odd name was unfunny.

Scowls

October 23, 2009July 7, 2020Mary Jo2 Comments on Scowls

I used to know someone named Gina

October 21, 2009Mary Jo3 Comments on Daily

I have tried to keep up with the fun things the boys do, but it’s impossible to save it all. Sometimes I blog but don’t have pictures, sometimes I have pictures but never have time to write it out. Sometimes they do things that I think are just preciou…

Squealer

August 7, 2009May 27, 2020Mary Jo3 Comments on Squealer

Two boys by the name of O’Neil,
Had their eyes on a pig they could steal.
They successfully crept,
While the old farmer slept,
Then, betrayed by the pig and her squeal.

April 19, 2009Mary Jo5 Comments on Ever Increasing Joy

Today is one of the most melancholy days on record. I am bursting with the ins and outs of emotion that seem to be pouring down as steady as the April shower beyond the rails of this back porch. I have cried and laughed and studied each feeling so as t…

Holding Back

March 27, 2009July 7, 2020Mary Jo4 Comments on Holding Back

Young Ivan with strong furrowed brow,
Would laugh if he’d ever learned how.
He can chuckle and smirk,
But his giggles still lurk,
Holding back till his hurts take a bow.

March 18, 2009Mary Jo5 Comments on The Adventure Continues

I did manage to accomplish a small project yesterday. I posted it on my Girls In Stitches site and I’m quite pleased. The only missing component on this wall hanging organizer is a way to hang it. I am thinking I can just stitch little loops on the ba…
