Welcome Aria!


A Mother's Love
by Maggie Lee Scott of Liquid Ice Musing ©2009

Filled with excitement
In different ways
Waiting and counting
Two hundred plus days

So many questions
About what to do
Having a child
Was something new

When my daughter was born
I knew from the start
This bundle of joy
Had captured my heart

The cut of the umbilical cord
Left our bodies free
To be bound by a love
Lasting to eternity

Nothing else equals
On this planet earth
The miracle from heaven
Of a mother giving birth

Welcome Baby Aria! Congratulations Danielle & Mike! I can't wait to see you all!

Moving Day

I have been kicking this around for some time, and I have decided to move back to my dot com web site and back to WordPress. Here's a screen shot of today's post on the new digs. I hope you'll continue to come visit at my new home on the web!

Further, I have decided not to import my blogger blog. A fresh start. I want to focus more on photography. I want to learn more and improve.


Enjoy the today's trip around the sun! I know I will!

One Word

Nana, Point Shirley, Circa 1932

vintage photographs
my grandmother on the beach
-where does the time go?

badly broken heart
eternal, yet temporal
-time heals everything

due date, come and gone
the sweetest thing she may be
-still, we have to wait!

great grandparent’s joy
the legacy continues
-time forever new


I have this Circa 1932 photograph of my Nana Jo thanks of the magic of today’s technology! One of my cousins scanned it and put it up on FaceBook. I adore it! Thank you, April! Delighted, I immediately wrote another haiku and replaced the photo I had planned to use with this.

I miss you, Nana. You would be overjoyed with the impending birth of Baby Aria, and oh, how she would have loved her Great-Great Nana Jo!

This week’s OSI prompt of “One Word” was suggested by Wayfaring Wanderer.

Back in a Hot Flash!

max_office_hot_boxed Do you like Maxine? I love Maxine. Maxine always makes me laugh. I worked in the corporate world for a long time and actually knew a few Maxines! What a riot!

There are a very few things I miss about working in that kind of environment, and some of the people is one of them.

Coincidently, one of the things I miss least… the other people. hahaha!


Did you know Maxine blogs?

I want to thank all of you who took the time to go over and comment on my niece’s blog post/college journalism class assignment. You Rock! If you didn’t happen to stop by yesterday and would like to help a hard working college student make an A on her assignment, take a look at yesterday’s post for the link!

Today I have an amazing amount of laundry to do as well as some shopping. I hope you all have a wonderful day!

Did you know?

Each day 10,000 humans are born in the U.S. - and each day 70,000 puppies and kittens are born. As long as these birth rates exist, there will never be enough homes for all the animals. As a result, every year 4 to 6 million animals are euthanized because there are no homes for them.

What can you do to stop the suffering?

Spay and neuter your pet! In addition to saving lives, spaying and neutering can also drastically improve your pet's health and life expectancy. The idea that pets become fat or lazy when they are spayed or neutered is a myth. Sterilized pets lead healthier, longer lives. Spaying a female eliminates the possibility of uterine and ovarian cancer and greatly reduces the risk of breast cancer. Neutering a male reduces the risk of both prostate enlargement and prostate cancer. Neutering also will make your pet more affectionate and less likely to roam, get in fights, or become lost.
