They Talk About Mermaid Tattoos


Ending an era with this little gal today; 
she is soon to be a proud Big Sister
(She doesn't know that she is the latest owner of a piece of Janet's heartπŸ’–)


But oh, what a perfectly-precious farewell day
with two of my favorite little gal-palsπŸ’•


It doesn't look like it here but oh, the conversation...πŸ˜…πŸ’—πŸ’—πŸ’—








They talk about Mermaid tattoos
And Minions Bubble-bath and things
Like, how when thoap getth in your eyeth/soap gets in your eyes
It ‘really-really-very-thtingth’ /stings
And nothing is impossible
In a world not yet four years old
Still oblivious to the pull
Of Bygone’s oceanic hold

Their dollies board yoga-mat ships
Where giggling captains shout ahoy
And take the silliest of trips
To snack-time’s high-five, five-star joy
While we find life a gladder charge
In the delightful company
Of Darling Innocence at large
And pure and precious as can be

How unaware-ly they arrange
A gallery of mementos
Where nothing in the world can change
The pictures that these halls enclose
While heartstrings twang and tangle, oh
Where hold-and-letting-go soft-spars
With laughter-spangles lilting glow
And a sweet blur of salty stars

They stir a thankful melody
For pink-frock perfect happiness
For little girls, still fancy-free
Where childhood is earth’s heaven-ness
Before the slick wink of an eye
That turns us into hoarder’s of
Artwork that money cannot buy
Masterpieces entitled 'Love'

This sunny-deck tea-party was not just to say farewell
but to honor a birthday girl as well!

Happy 22nd Birthday, Victoria!

The little girls watched as I wrapped Victoria's birthday gift!
Granddaughter was SO excited!!
I reminded them that it's a secret so don't tell her!!
and they gave me their solemn word
...until, over come with excitement for her auntie's birthday
Grand daughter blurted out
'you have a gift and it's your two favorite-est books!πŸ˜‚πŸ’πŸ’πŸ’
