NO CHILDREN
No Children! by Edgar Guest
No children in the house to play--
It must be hard to live that way!
I wonder what the people do
When night comes on and the work is through,
With no glad little folks to shout,
No eager feet to race about,
No youthful tongues to chatter on
About the joy that's been and gone?
The house might be a castle fine,
But what a lonely place to dine!
No children in the house at all,
No fingermarks upon the wall,
No corner where the toys are piled--
Sure indication of a child.
No little lips to breathe the prayer
That God shall keep you in His care,
No glad caress and welcome sweet
When night returns you to your street;
No little lips a kiss to give--
Oh, what a lonely way to live!
No children in the house! I fear
We could not stand it half a year.
What would we talk about at night,
Plan for and work with all our might,
Hold common dreams about and find
True union of heart and mind,
If we two had no greater care
Than what we both should eat and wear?
We never knew love's brightest flame
Until the day the baby came.
And now we could not get along
Without their laughter and their song.
Joy is not bottled on a shelf,
It cannot feed upon itself,
And even love, if it shall wear,
Must find its happiness in care;
Dull we'd become of mind and speech
Had we no little ones to teach.
No children in the house to play!
Oh, we could never live that way!

It must be hard to live that way!

Idlewild with some old firends...........
So everybody cuts up MySpce..they say it casues nothing but trouble...blah blah blah...well over the year that I have had the account I had came in contact with people I have not seen in years. Recently I got back i ntouch with an old friend I had in High school who I knew becasue I was engaged to her cousin...so after all these years and not even being with her cousin anymore we clicked and are friends again....
On Monday We took our kids along with her mom and her two kids to Idlewild...we had a blast! They were pretty much the same age and they got along great! The sad thing was my 12 year who is their cousins was not able to attend and the two older boys who are there are age really wanted to see him...
Even thought it was a very hot day and very crowded the kids were pretty good...we even swam at the water park too...we stayed all day at the park..got there at 11 am and stayed til 10:00 pm.
It was so nice to see Dorine and her Mom after all these years and the best thing is they still like me!LOL A lot of history with there family....I hope we can stay liek this...she is just an awesome girl!

So on Friday me and Dh and the two girls went to Ohio to attend the services for her..even though it for her services we still had a great time seeing his family again..they are always a hoot!
On Sunday We went to Steller training Camp..Just little B came with us and he was such a good little boy....he had an awesome time.

So now its back to climbing Mt Laundry and getting hte house together...til then many blessings!
