I’ve Been Drunk
words by Leslie Noyes
I’m usually sober, but I have been drunk. Sometimes one glass of wine leads to another,
And I lose count. Mind, this isn’t my usual state. Normally you’ll find me sober as a saint.
Tonight, though? Tonight I succumbed. Tonight I forgot about rules and restrictions.
I did not drown my sorrows; I celebrated my joys. Oh, my heart! I have so very many.
I just upgraded to a premium package. I guess I’m happy with it, but they kind of had me over a barrel. I couldn’t attach any photos to new blogs without upgrading, and I know how much you all enjoy my stellar (cough! cough!) photography.
But I’m griping because for some reason WP has begun publishing posts that clearly were marked as “scheduled.” I’ll go in to edit scheduled posts and the next thing I know they’ve published. It’s ticking me off.
So if you click on one of my posts and nothing is there please know it wasn’t my doing, but an overzealous WordPress glitch.
Carry on.
Too freaking funny!

If you were a smart, beautiful girl, who isn’t into girly-girl stuff, what would you want to receive as a gift for your 14th birthday?
This isn’t a rhetorical question. Our eldest grandchild will celebrate her 14th birthday on September 13. Today is September 7. Surely someone out there has a suggestion. I’m getting desperate.
Here she is with her dog, Toby.
“View from my Bed”
Snort!
Aren’t these adorable? They are called “Coral Cactus” and that’s what I’ll call these photos.
They leaned across the table,
fingertips touching,
heads inclined,
eyes engaged
Anyone could see how much in
love they were,
except I heard
her call him
A freaking dumbass, while
he made feeble
attempts at an
apology.
Eavesdropping certainly
has some perks
not the least of which is
entertainment value.
I call this one, “Light and Shadow at the Home Depot”.
I have to share these collaborative pieces. Julie Powell (juliepowell2014.wordpress.com inspires me with her gorgeous photos and I do my best to honor those photos in verse.
Leslie and I have been busy creating a few more collaborations; her beautiful words and my pretty pictures. Here are a few more in case you have not seen them
Before we were Kings This is one of my favourites so far….I adore Leslie’s poem and I love the Elephants!
These two are Strange Bedfellows…….
Til next time, happy snapping…
