- "Great Moms":
FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO PLAN TO BE GREAT MOMS,
THOSE OF YOU, WHO ARE GREAT MOMS,
THOSE WHO HAVE GREAT MOMS AND THOSE OF YOU WHO HAD GREAT MOMS...
Real Mothers don't eat quiche; they don't have time to make it.
Real Mothers know that their kitchen utensils are probably in the sandbox.
Real Mothers often have sticky floors, filthy ovens and happy kids.
Real Mothers know that dried play dough doesn't come out of shag carpets.
Real Mothers don't want to know what the vacuum just sucked up.
Real Mothers sometimes ask 'Why me?' and get their answer when a little voice
says, 'Because I love you best.'
Real Mothers know that a child' s growth is not measured by height or years or
grade... It is marked by the progression of Mama to Mom to Mother...
4 YEARS OF AGE - My Mommy can do anything!
8 YEARS OF AGE - My Mom knows a lot! A whole lot!
12 YEARS OF AGE - My Mother doesn't really know quite everything.
14 YEARS OF AGE - Naturally, Mother doesn't know that, either.
16 YEARS OF AGE - Mother? She's hopelessly old-fashioned.
18 YEARS OF AGE - That old woman? She's way out of date!
25 YEARS OF AGE - Well, she might know a little bit about it.
35 YEARS OF AGE - Before we decide, let's get Mom ' s opinion.
45 YEARS OF AGE - Wonder what Mom would have thought about it?
65 YEARS OF AGE - Wish I could talk it over with Mom.
The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she
carries, or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman must be seen from
in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love
resides. The beauty of a woman is not in a facial mole, but true beauty in a
woman is reflected in her soul. It is the caring that she lovingly gives, the
passion that she shows, and the beauty of a woman with passing years only grows!
Thank you so much,
Janice!
From Renee Helterbran Benton ('59) of VA - 10/09/08 - "Maxine ~~ FOR PRESIDENT":
MAXINE FOR PRESIDENT
GIGGLES!!!
Thanks, Renee!
From Paul Dobie ('66) of CO - 10/09/08
- "Why you should always say I Love You":
This is why you should always say I Love You.
This has been kept alive and moving since 9/11. In memory of all those who
perished this morning; the passengers
and the pilots on the United Air and AA flights, the workers in the World Trade
Center and the Pentagon,
and all the innocent bystanders, our prayers go out to the friends and families
of the deceased.
Thank you so much,
Paul!
There
could scarcely be a more poignant reminder!
From Joyce Lawrence Cahoon ('65) of VA
- 10/09/08 - "Baptist Dog":
Baptist DOG
A Baptist preacher and his wife
decided to get a new dog. Ever mindful of
the congregation, they knew the dog
must also be a Baptist. They visited kennel after kennel
and explained their needs. Finally, they found a kennel
whose owner assured them he had just the dog they wanted. |
WILD GIGGLES!!!
Joyce, you are so baaaad!!! Thanks
for the laugh, Lady!
From
Wayne
Stokes ('65) of VA - 10/09/08 - "http://www.naturalnews.com/images/AIG-invoice.gif

From Betty Brockwell McClure ('58)
of VA - 10/10/08 - "God and the Spider":
I'm so glad to hear
you're doing so much better, Betty!
I like your phrase - "pretty
good"! I've removed your name from the Prayer Roll for now, but it can always be
returned, should you feel the need!
http://www.nnhs65.00freehost.com/requests-prayers.html
Thanks to your Newsletter,
Johnnie Bateman ('70 - of VA) was
able to put me in touch with a lady with whom I used to work at Surry Power
Station - Jo Ann Eley - and we have been corresponding. It's amazing!
Thank you for all your work.
That's SUPER news,
Lady! I always love to hear
of reconnection stories; I'm glad I could have played even a small part!
Love and prayers,
Oh, MY, yes! I don't recall ever
seeing this before, Betty, but I really like it! Thanks so very much!

Oh, WOW!
Thanks, F.A.!
From Norris Perry (Warwick HS - '59) of VA - 10/08/08 - "Who said poetry is boring?":
Some humor for a chilly morning
THESE ARE ENTRIES TO A WASHINGTON POST
COMPETITION ASKING FOR A TWO-LINE RHYME
WITH THE MOST ROMANTIC FIRST LINE, AND THE LEAST ROMANTIC SECOND
LINE:
1. My darling, my lover, my beautiful wife:
Marrying you has screwed up my life.
2. I see your face when I am dreaming.
That's why I always wake up screaming.
3. Kind, intelligent, loving and hot;
This describes everything you are not.
4. Love may be beautiful, love may be bliss,
But I only slept with you 'cause I was pissed.
5. I thought that I could love no other
-- that is until I met your brother.
6. Roses are red, violets are blue, sugar is sweet, and so are you.
But the roses are wilting, the violets are dead, the sugar bowl's empty, and so
is your head.
7. I want to feel your sweet embrace;
But don't take that paper bag off your face..
8. I love your smile, your face, and your eyes
Damn, I'm good at telling lies!
9. My love, you take my breath away.
What have you stepped in to smell this way?
10. My feelings for you no words can tell,
Except for maybe 'Go to hell.'
11. What inspired this amorous rhyme?
Two parts vodka, one part lime.
WILDEST GIGGLES!!!
Thanks, Norris - for
everything!

The Nearness of You
- Words and
Music by Ned Washington & Hoagy Carmichael
Recorded by Hoagy Carmichael, 1937
Also recorded by Glenn Miller, 1940 (#5)
It's not the pale moon that excites me
That thrills and delights me, oh no
It's just the nearness of you
It isn't your sweet conversation
That brings this sensation, oh no
It's just the nearness of you
When you're in my arms and I feel you so close to me
All my wildest dreams come true
I need no soft lights to enchant me
If you'll only grant me the right
To hold you ever so tight
And to feel in the night the nearness of you
