Say a little prayer for you
May I say a little prayer for you

From the moment I wake up
Before I put on my makeup
I say a little prayer for you
While combing my hair now
And wondering what dress to wear now
I say a little prayer for you

Forever and ever
You'll stay in my heart
And I'll love you
Forever and ever
We never apart
Oh how I'll love you
Together, forever
That's how it will be
To live without you
Would only mean heartbreak for me

Marika Cobbold - Shooting Butterflies " Light is energy, making anything that produces it, alos anything that receives and illuminated by it, such as the moon and virtually any other object we see."

All women become like their mothers. That is their tragedy. - Oscar Wilde

I'm always shocked by the ferocity with which memories peviously 'buried alive' unexpectedly revisit; they're like a second cousin(thirty years removed) who drops by, refusing to budge until you've fed her and agreed that those summers spent sharing the hammock at Granny's were the best of your life, even if they were really the worst...
If it is true that reparation for the sins of the father becomes the karma of the sons, how many unfulfilled mother's dreams become their children's destinies?
-SBB

Iron rusts from diuse; water loses its purity from stagnation..even so does inaction sap the vigor of the mind - L. da Vinci

Aceh before and after.

妻子站在秤上高興地對丈夫說：                                                             

”親愛的，快來看我體重少了兩公斤．                                                              

”親愛的，那是因為妳還沒有化妝．

小白這天去換駕照，路經一個十字路口時，瞧見有位媽媽背著一個小孩，前面還載一個大一點的小孩被條子攔下來…                                                                                         

條子說：「這位太太，你的小孩沒帶安全帽也就算了，你怎麼自已也不戴？這樣說不過去哦。」          

媽媽：「小朋友的這麼小買不到ㄇㄟ。」                                                          

條子：「但你自已應該要戴啊！」                                                                

媽媽：「我戴幹嘛？萬一我的孩子出了什麼事，我也不想活了！」                                       

條子：「……　@_@　……」

Heavenly Pleasures
Kerry Greenwood
Corinna Chapman continues to bake with Jason her apprentice and Horatio the cat in attendance at Earthly Delights, Corinna's bakery. But she's also waiting for her exciting, recently acquired ex-soldier lover, Daniel, to walk back into her life. After a week of no communication Daniel finally returns, bruised and battered from a close encounter of the nasty kind with a so-called messiah in Ballarat. But someone else needs their help. Tall, blonde and gorgeous Juliette Lefebvre, the maker of the most gorgeous chocolates and owner of Heavenly Pleasures, is distraught. Someone is spiking her very expensive chocolates. Is it an elaborate and horrible joke or is it a warning that worse may yet happen? And what has happened to the kitten Lucifer, last seen trying to lose the last of his nine lives by smothering himself with superfine baking flour? The second delicious instalment in Kerry Greenwood's new Corinna Chapman series.
