And start dying little by little, piece by piece
Some guys come home from work and wash up,
And go racin' in the streets"

You won't find your precious answers now
by staying in one place"

They're living and breathing"

Grab a hold of my hand

Together, our lives are just one passing minute
It could be gold, if we make it"

Let's take this time to let it show
'cause these are ours.
These are ours!"

I saw so many places, the things that I did"

All we have, all we have is

All we have, all we have is time"

Let's Do That Summer Thing Again!

 


Sunday, May 25 - We got home from our trip to the tropics only to find the tropics had invaded our back yard thanks to a lot of rain while we were gone.  Our two-year-old calla lily in the backyard by the patio was booming with blooms.  Top that, Costa Rica!! 


Monday, May 5 - Let's get our hungry, hungry hippo on! After only a day of rest from our trip, the super hostess with the mostest, Ashlee, dodged most of the forecasted rain to throw a darn good Childhood Games Partay today on Memorial Day.  It also served as a milestone birthday party for three of our friends: Brenda (60); Wendy (50) and Lisa (50).  It was a hoot and a holler with this giant version of human Hungry Hungry Hippos blown up in our backyard as the crowning achievement. 


We had great themed food (Sloppy Joes, Hamburger Helper and Beanie Weenies), cakes for all three birthday girls and tons of throwback candy.  Note that these no longer say "cigarette" on them.
