This is Carmie finding the Dr. pretty funny. She's such a hoot!
 & This is lil Carmie right before they stuck her with 3 huge needles in her thighs for her vaccines. Poor baby:(

Carmie & Grandma



My beautiful girl with grandma at 15 weeks 1 day old!

Something in the sound

of the lyrics as he sung them made me thing back and lose my way...for a minute I was transported to a smaller kitchen in Burbank watching as you taught me how to properly make a shrimp scampi. You always added the tomatoes last, on top, away from the heat and they wilted just ever so slightly.

I was sipping a Guiness and chopping garlic and parsely. I don't know if it was the smell of my own kitchen or the tune of the song. I smiled wide as if you could see me. Someday's I even imagine your hand upon my shoulder. I'd like to believe that it was possible. That if you could see me now, you'd be proud of the way I turned out.

I miss you & I hope wherever you are, if there is a life after this, that you are at peace.

Distant Camera

"The flash of a distant camera
reconnecting
thoughts and actions,
Fragments of our missing dreams,
Pieces from here and there
fall in place along the line,
Disappearing between you and me.

Life is changing everywhere I go,
New things and old both disappear.
If life is a photograph,
Fading in the mirror....

All I want is a song of love,
Song of love to sing for you.
All I need is this song of love,
To sing for you.

On the floor where daylight dances
With the ones that missed their chances,
When they couldn't let it show,
Lies the land of sweet surrender,
Like a dream
it might have ended there,
but we didn't even know.

Now forever we will live as one,
Floating in love's atmosphere.
If love is a piece of dust,
Shining in the sun...

All I want is a song of love,
Song of love to sing for you.
All I need is this song of love,
To sing for you.

Song of love...
Song of love..."
