365 Snap Shots of Life Blog Challenge: Day 7

January 7,2012

I took this picture of my daughter in the spring. The cat she’s holding is Ladie, our family pet. Ladie  just wandered into our back yard one day and rubbed herself up against my oldest daughter. She picked her up and then Ladie never left our home again. It’s been a few years since then, and Ladie has turned out to be the best pet we ever had. We suspect that she might have been one of those pets that people are forced to abandon when they have to leave their homes in a hurry after the bank has  foreclosed on their property. Abandoned pets on foreclosed properties is a big problem here in Nevada. Ladie also could have been raised  with a dog because she behaves more like a canine. By the way, she is a Scottish Fold, hence the small ears.

Rear View Mirror

Rear View Mirror

I look in my rear view mirror,

not knowing what I’d see.

The sun has long set,

on you and me.

The skies set ablaze,

the sun has gone down in full glory.

The distant horizon,

all blurred as in a haze.

Days of you and me gone-

my rear view mirror doesn’t lie,

as I take one last look,

my heart doesn’t even sigh.

The sun set long ago,

on this, our story.

The sun set, only this time I’m not sorry.

I look in my rear view mirror,

and you’re stuck back there,

my future is straight ahead…

…and you’re no longer there.

 Abraham Lincoln came from a very humble background. He was born in Kentucky and was entirely self educated.Long before 1861, when he was elected president, a local person asked him, ” Why do you read so much? An education won’t help you to earn a living.” “I’m not educating myself to earn a living,” Lincoln replied, ” I’m trying to learn what to do with a living if ever I earn it.”
