Myrtle and Ed

Sitting under the umbrella 
In hot pools and sunshine,
Playing the age-old game of
You show me yours, and I'll show you mine ...

Appreciating that soaking in hot springs
Was the ultimate fine;
Wishing they'd begun it long ago,
If they'd only had the time.

Their wrinkles and sags
Mattered to them not one bit;
They were old, they were brave;
And they didn't give a sh**!

K. Matthews, 2011



Today is the fourteenth day of the A - Z Challenge, which is hosted by  Arlee Bird's: Tossing It Out.   Several of my blogging friends are participating, and this year there are over 1,200 participants. We post everyday, except for Sundays, and work our way through the alphabet. I am posting past photos that I have taken, and am linking them up to the posts where the photos originated from too. When you are all done here at Oregon Gifts,  please click here to visit the other bloggers who are participating in this challenge. 



If you miss a day, you miss a lot!  Don't miss out on the news ... Please click here to go to my home page and see what is happening in Mayberry today.
