I took my heart out to play

To Paul~In remembrance of your sweet Father

Remembering U like it was Yesterday…
Remembering U like it was Yesterday…We laughed
Remembering U like it was Yesterday…We danced
Remembering U like it was Yesterday…I held your hand
Remembering U like it was Yesterday…I watched you sleep

Remembering U like it was Yesterday…

 

That a lifetime is never enough…
A lifetime is never enough when you’re gone
When we are left with memories and a song

Tucked between your pictures and your words
I found a love I’ve barely heard

For buried deep within your heart
I find myself and every part

Your words I sift like grains of sand
Trying now to understand

That a lifetime is never enough…

Paul I wanted to do something for you during this time of loss! I wrote these after my Pa passed and I wanted to share them with you. I will not be posting today out of respect for Paul’s loss.

A train story-by Ezra

/home/wpcom/public_html/wp-content/blogs.dir/ff7/49951494/files/2014/12/img_6289.jpg
Once upon a time there was a little boy and his name was Mike. He liked to look at the rain all day and loved trains! He even had a big train of his own!

One day he was on his big train driving it and drinking coffee he was writing something on his map and a big train came and crashed into his train.

Mike’s train fell off the track and rolled into the trees and fire started but Mike jumped out and lived. He jumped into the other guys train and drive it to New York.

He became a rich man but always felt bad for taking the other man’s train.
The end!

P.S. Ezra asked me today to help him write a story so I typed while he dictated! We were waiting for the train to open!

Surprise Fascinating Bookstore

Ezra & I decided to explore the small town where I’ve lived for 7 years
Ezra asked me what I thought was up those stairs, pressing his face against the window he said Aunt Micki I think it’s a bookstore let’s investigate. I cannot believe what we saw.
Check out these old stairs.

Upstairs was this old bookstore with 15 rooms full of books, over 30,000. Old books, new books, any book you could think of was in this wonderful old bookstore. We wandered from room to room, the floors creaked and made old wood floor noises. The owner said it was built in 1907. Everything was original! It was fascinating.

One of my favorite books that started my love for reading.

What I loved about this book was it was magical and made me dream in my head and I’ve always wanted to find a secret garden.

Each closet in the store was full of period costumes that are actually worn in the Dickens Christmas.

Is this a treasure or what? I cannot believe I’ve lived here for 7 years and never been here. I realized once again I need to take the time to do the things I love! I love bookstores. I love to hold a book and physically turn the pages. I love to dog-ear them and I also love the smell of printed pages. Nothing to me can replace that. Sure readers are nice and time saving but I think I’m going to be a frequent customers at this little piece of paradise!
