A Grandfather’s Love, Demonstrated in Freeze Pops

As the weather starts to break a bit, we make plans for Spring Break, and I book my kids in a variety of Summer camps,  I am reminded that this summer will be different because we won't have my dad to share the summer with,  My dad kept these on the rotation, in every flavor. Not even sure how he gets them now because I think they are the equivalent of "kid crack"--made with artificial coloring, flavoring, and sugar . To my kids though, these freeze pops were love and summer wrapped in a bow.

Valentine's Things (a joke)!

(Below is a poem that I wrote a few years ago.  Even though I had a fab Valentine's Day this year, I thought I'd share!)


Chocolate candy exchanged

And cards everywhere

Magazine ads

Saying love's in the air

Deliverymen scrambling to make their deadlines

This is a day that many despise…

Men feeling pressure to make the big play

Women keeping score on this special day

Everyone tense to make sure they do right

Many a couple will get in a fight…

Expressions of love on all of the channels

Easygoing women turning most anal

Singles believing that they are now alone

Walking single file through the love zone…

The winter transforms into a sea of red

Some give gifts to get (her) into bed

Many wishing real hard for tomorrow to come

Returning life back to normal for everyone…

When the door knocks

When the phone rings

When we’re feeling sad

We simply remember these Valentines Things and then we feel really bad!

good evening fellas. I'm actually into shoes and I had been searching for that singular brand. The prices seeking the sneakers were around 250 dollars on every site. But definitively I set this site selling them as a remedy for half price. I in reality love those [url=http://www.shoesempire.com]prada sneakers[/url]. I will absolutely purchase these. what can you say about it?
