simply... iowa.

I had to post...
'Mona Lisa'...
by Brad Paisley...
When I first heard it...
I GOT IT!
Some..folks...think... it's me...
that makes this Old Stuff...
Shine....
here... on the blog....
at a show....
or down... the rabbit hole...
no...no... no...
I truly feel...
like the frame... that gets to hold...
the 'Mona Lisa'...
Look... look...
at all of the beauty....
oh my....
yeah...
I feel...
Blessed...to be...
'the frame'...
Love...Love...Love...
these...amazing...Old... Soulful.... Beauties... : )
and I don't care...
if that's all...
I ever do.

I am... a White...on White... or... Off White... Gal... : )
but... when it comes... to This...Apple Green...
oh my...

{must be the 'Irish'... in me... : )


Words...

The Door...
is Always...
Open...
{and...the light's on... in the hall... : ) }

I said... I remembered her... face....as she held me.... in her arms....
I was told... that...wasn't possible...
she had passed away.... several years...before...I was born....
Whatever...
I Knew... this Woman...
I...Truly... Did... and....do.
I was 23 when Dad...went 'Home'...
