From Adults:
Much too driven to be relaxed
Born-School-Married-Children-Retired-Died
I totally meant to do that
Marry, Terry, Kathy, David- oh my!
First I wasn’t, then I was…
May what is started be finished
Don’t be hateing be creating
Started out rough, ended up fine
All work, no play, not me!
Not ready to check out yet
There’s nothing to do in Placerville
If only I had known that!
So far so good
Blessed with children, family, and friends
I quit, that’s why I’m here
Shut out Big Brother, no TV
Someway, Somehow, this too shall pass
Why? Sadness. Change. Hope. Suffering…Endurance
I still expect to have sandwiches
From here to there, East-West
Better to ask forgiveness than permission
Mother of two-no grandkids yet
A life too full for words
I have lived a very happy life
Ins and outs- ups and Downs
Loving mother of two busy kids
You are what you is
I am still working on it!
Finally retired- still work no pay
Having lots of fun between injuries

I love, therefore I am alive
Not the life I volunteered for
War isn’t hell. War is worse.
Will work for food. Three Degrees.
Hold on, not too fast!-Dead?
Foot in mouth, please pull out
Brain for sale- hardly ever used
She asked and I said yes!
I am unable to explain here
Marriage-Betrayal-Alone-Companion-Truth-Happiness
I came, I saw, I fled
Loved every minute of it!

Kids, housework, whine...cheese, crackers, wine
Let’s go have another grand adventure!
Could have paid my library fines!
Hurts like hell; moving ahead anyway!
I like to run with scissors
I love computers, that's life
"Life is hard." "Compared to what?"
Conception-Birth-Pablem-Old-Older-Death
Earth: I was here. So what?
Some will...Some won't...So what?
Good talent: Learn to say "Sorry."
Who? What? Where? When? How? Why?
Heartache: didn't get to say "Good-bye."
Necessary non-essentials: umbrella, shoes, lipstick, ex-husband
Your money isn't necessarily your life
Unnecessary necessities:
I love computers that's all
Life's a challenge and then?
Tried to run a good race
May I leave this world smiling!
Never to old to grow and learn!
Living moments one at a time!
My life has been truly blessed
White hair doesn't match mental age
Born to play Bach and bluegrass
I was born, I will die
My daughter calls my stuff "vintage"
So many books, so little time
Happily married to a wonderful man
Mother to three beautifully giggly children
Divorce: it happens...Deal with it!
New Beginnings: Opportunity for happy endings :)
Mom: quintessential problem solver and peacemaker
Inner music first; then the guitar
parents way, so took the highway
Successful at all; happy at none
My life is ordinary; it's great!
Heard her first cry, love forever
Then I found him, love eternal
Carry baggage: more old than new
Many highways led me here today
Here, there, everywhere: Life's a journey
Took the nearest offramp to her
Sit down, listen, share, and do-it!
We still believe in true love
Chives, garlic, beans, peas. Gopher wins.
Winter nights, summer days, hot flash!
pressing on- as I've always done
Discovered Jesus, my savior, my friend.
Living the abundant life. Thanks Jesus.
It started hard, then got better
Mom: mother of multiples, of miracles
Was born and soon will die
Grandmother to four cherub angels
Kids are angels with filthy faces
A cat person with three dogs
I'm not argumentative, but you are!
Tu casa es mi casa, really!
I started slowly, then tapered off
I'm not a complete cynic, yet
Still hoping to find my swing
Driving it like i stole it
Excuse me, are you bossin me?
Yearning for spring, for all eternity
Is it time to eat yet?
Being in charge is way overrated
Life evolved from Jesus to Darwin
Retired- what more could you want
