Thanks Z!

@ 03:39 AM (12 months, 2 days ago)

My family and I had the great privilege of spending a few hours with the blog goddess Z and Mr. Z on Monday. We had a great time. Z is a wonderful cook and hostess and Mr. Z knows where to find all the beautiful spots along the coast. Thanks for a great time.

Those weren't alstromeria's on your table were they Z?

Z is an Angel

Spend all your time waiting
for that second chance
for a break that would make it okay
there's always one reason
to feel not good enough
and it's hard at the end of the day
I need some distraction
oh beautiful release
memory seeps from my veins
let me be empty
and weightless and maybe
I'll find some peace tonight

in the arms of an angel
fly away from here
from this dark cold hotel room
and the endlessness that you fear
you are pulled from the wreckage
of your silent reverie
you're in the arms of the angel
may you find some comfort there

so tired of the straight line
and everywhere you turn
there's vultures and thieves at your back
and the storm keeps on twisting
you keep on building the lie
that you make up for all that you lack
it don't make no difference
escaping one last time
it's easier to believe in this sweet madness oh
this glorious sadness that brings me to my knees

in the arms of an angel
fly away from here
from this dark cold hotel room
and the endlessness that you fear
you are pulled from the wreckage
of your silent reverie
you're in the arms of the angel
may you find some comfort there
you're in the arms of the angel
may you find some comfort here

  9. I just came back to let you know that your word verification is insulting me! I was lamenting aloud the fact that I ate so much over the holidays I can barely walk, and the word verification gave me 'waddle'. Hmmphhh!

  12. JM -- he did that word verification thing on purpose. Don't let him fool ya. Remember, he is an evil homeschooler!!!

    Brooke; Imagine all of us together? Oh, man. Think we'd ever run out of things to talk about?

    We SO enjoyed having Elbro and his family here....I kept thinking "I can't believe Elbro's standing in my kitchen!"
