I saw a parade!...

...I left for work this morning, just like I always do,I drove down the street, turned the corner,...and just about rear-ended the back-end of a car that had stopped in the middle of the road! I looked again and there were several cars stopped in the middle of the road, just...sitting! What in the world was going on? Just when I was readying myself to get out of the car and go give the lead car a piece of my mind (okay, not really, I was still shocked about my near miss), a mama duck waddled out, leading a group of little babies!



So cute! It was then that I noticed a small group of joggers had stopped on the side of the road to watch as well. It's surprising how a baby (or the plural in this case) can stop activity in an area!

One of the ladies that I work with brought her little one in the other day and the entire office stopped to play with her for almost an hour!



She is absolutely adorable so it's completely understandable...and quite the little ham, she LOVES getting her picture taken!

She's also our little faerie..



...see the resemblance? I've also never thought of a child as a 'color' but she's a very 'washed-out pastel pink' meaning her personality is very soft. She's just so much fun to be around..I wonder when she's coming in again? :-)

Do you remember....

...the one that got away? We've all got one. Y'all just thought of him and it brought a little smile to your face. The thought of him, even now, years later, makes your heart pound.



The first time you saw him, it felt as if the world took a breath. The first time you kissed, you're heart stopped. You would be with him forever.



Of course, it doesn't work out that way. That kind of passion burns hot but doesn't last, no matter how hard you try. In fact, the harder you hold on, the faster it dies out.



But, you always remember him. He always holds a special piece of your heart. That little smile? his. That melancholy feeling? his. Never together but always a part of each others' lives. You learned so much, about him, about yourself. You find yourself missing him sometimes but also feeling content with how your life has turned out. There will always be that 'what if' feeling but it's only for a moment...



I was browsing on FaceBook yesterday and came across the brothers of...him! I was so shocked, they're not 'FaceBook' types, not really even computer types. It started so many memories to cascade through my mind, good and bad, wondering how he's doing, what he's been up too, you know, that sorta thing. We'd each be standing across a large room and before long we'd be drawn to each other like two magnets. Even after we were both married we still went out of our way to see each other. No, nothing like that! :-) I'd never cheat. We just felt like we needed to be with each other, just to talk and reminisce, remember how it used to be. We always had...something. I used to see him every few years but it's been over 10 now. I'm no longer married. He's no longer married so...is that spark still there? Does he look older? Do I look older? Should I add his brothers as friends? hmmm......
