Adventures with Dr. Lady Cutie Troublemaker

Life is in flux BIG TIME these days. I want to keep in touch with all of my peeps. The Internet is this beautiful thing. I can move to a brand new city and still stay in easy, near-daily contact with the people I love. When I feel connected to the people in my life that matter, I am unstoppable!

Christmas is Coming

By Abby at 2:15 pm on Sunday, December 4, 2005

Today there is lots of pretty snow. We decided to go get a tree (even heathens like us call it a Christmas Tree an not a Holiday Tree) and then we broke in the garage for the first time. Covered parking in Boston. This is the life!

When He’s 64

By Abby at 11:06 pm on Friday, December 2, 2005

Happy Birthday to "my old man." But first, a song: 

When I’m 64 

When I get older, losing my hair, many years from now,
Will you still be sending me a Valentine,birthday greetings, bottle of wine?
If I’d been out ’till quarter to three,would you lock the door?
Will you still need me, will you still feed me when I’m sixty-four?
You’ll be older, too, and if you say the word, I could stay with you.
I could be handy, mending a fuse, when your lights have gone.
You can knit a sweater by the fireside, Sunday mornings, go for a ride.
Doing the garden, digging the weeds, who could ask for more?
Will you still need me, will you still feed me, when I’m sixty four?
Every summer we can rent a cottage in the Isle of Wight if it’s not to dear.
We shall scrimp and save.
Ah, grandchildren on your knee: Vera, Chuck, and Dave.
Send me a postcard, drop me a line stating point of view.
Indicate precisely what you mean to say, yours sincerely wasting away.
Give me your answer, fill in a form, mine forever more.
Will you still need me, will you still feed me, when I’m sixty four?

OK, no grandchildren, and instead of a cottage in the Isle of Wight, it’s a cabin in the North Georgia Mountains and a tiny urban getaway in Boston. Whatever the case, Happy Birthday Dad! Hope 64 is a grand year for you. 😀
