40. YAY Miss Peggy!

I've said it before but I love your presence here. You treat everyone as equals and don't know how much that soothes the environment.

You're a beautiful soul and I hope you keep posting and living your life with that "screw you" attitude. You're more powerful than you think.

Your family is so lucky to have you in their lives. If they ever start doubting, you know where to send them.

Much love,
ofrfxsk

[CaliforniaPeggy]

43. My dear ofrfxsk.......

You are being too sweet to me!

54. I'm having a good day today, myself.

Today is my daughter's twenty-first bIrthday.

I bought a dozen roses for her mother.



This song keeps running through my mind:


(Tevye)
Is this the little girl I carried?
Is this the little boy at play?


(Golde)
I don't remember growing older
When did they?




(Tevye)
When did she get to be a beauty?
When did he get to be so tall?

(Golde)
Wasn't it yesterday
When they were small?

(Men)
Sunrise, sunset
Sunrise, sunset
Swiftly flow the days
Seedlings turn overnight to sunflowers
Blossoming even as we gaze

(Women)
Sunrise, sunset
Sunrise, sunset
Swiftly fly the years
One season following another
Laden with happiness and tears

(Tevye)
What words of wisdom can I give them?
How can I help to ease their way?

(Tevye)
Now they must learn from one another
Day by day

(Perchik)
They look so natural together

(Hodel)
Just like two newlyweds should be

(Perchik & Hodel)
Is there a canopy in store for me?

(All)
Sunrise, sunset
Sunrise, sunset
Swiftly flow the days
Seedlings turn overnight to sunflowers
Blossoming even as we gaze

Sunrise, sunset
Sunrise, sunset
Swiftly fly the years
One season following another
Laden with happiness and tears
