~SECOND HAND ROSE'S 74TH BIRTHDAY...~


Secondhand Rose...me in my second hand clothes!

My dear friend Balisha at NEVER ENOUGH TIME asked if I would like to list ten things I loved.
Without listing family, dear friends and kitties and puppies and of course babies, OH, and Christmas...I did my best...and I did it HER WAY!

It went something like this:

Ok, Balisha, you asked me to do,
A simple little chore and because I love you..
I quite decided to give it a try...
So I thought and I thought,
And I stared at the sky...

When suddenly it came
As out of the blue,
 Ten things that I love,
Without a doubt t'is too true.

 I do have some things...
So without further adieux
I will happily and delightedly,
Share them with you!

There's Painting
And blogging,
My piano,
Cute shoes,
There's gardening,
And toys
To decorate with too...

And sewing and baking
Hot chocolate, so sweet..
Warm sweaters,
And old quilts,
(I need lots of heat)

And of course there's old hats
Old lace and old clothes
For you see, in the end,
I'm just a second hand Rose!

The end


Lots of love and many hugs,
Mona

    What a great poem, and a gorgeous picture, and, of course, we'd also LOVE to hear you sing.

    Hope it's Super Happy, Sweetpea!!

  7. Hmmm, I tried to "grab" your button, but it says photo unavailable. Just thought I'd let you know. Oh and speaking of buttons, I do have an actual button for grabbing too. The one you have in your list was a temporary one that Susan or Back Door Logic made up.
