Love Poem.........For my husband.

Longing For The One You Love

Author: Shirlotta Tidwell

For the longest time
Have I longed to touch thy face
To kiss thy beautiful lips
And feel the warmth of thine embrace.

For the longest time
Have I longed to hold thee near
And whisper sweet caresses
From my mouth into your ears.

For the longest time
Have I longed to sing out loud
Of the passion that I'll feel
When we dance beneath the clouds.

For the longest time
Have I longed to be with thee
To join my heart with your soul
Until you're the greatest part of me.

For the longest time
Will you and I be together
Until our fantasies have become realities
And our spirits have become one forever.

And so it ends......

Keys have been found.....

It was the YAY! moment, but then the realization that it was my fault that they were missing to begin with. On the day we left for vacation, I moved my car into the garage, thus I had them in my hand when I got in my husband's truck, since, they were located, under his seat.

I do have to say in my own defense...that I asked the kids to look in there for them 6 weeks ago and they said that they looked very throughly and NO KEYS. Today I went through every drawer I had, all my purses, cleaned my desk, behind the furniture, checked the sofa's and the freezer again (not there Sarah) and finally I figured, well it can't hurt to look again. About 30 seconds into looking, I found them under the seat where they had fallen between them and were sticking up next to the speakers.

In my children's defense, I might have missed them too if I had not been so desperate to find them.....

So now we move on to the missing cordless phone...who knows that could be in one of the vehicles too since I make a habit out of forwarding it to my cell on the way out of the house.....
I guess I need to learn a lesson from this....."GET PAGING SYSTEM FOR ALL LOSABLE ITEMS!"

2 out of 4

So the lost items list goes up one and down by two.....

I realized this morning that I am missing my favorite pair of Brighton sunglasses......I have lost a pair of these already thanks to the Atlantic Ocean and a wave plus my stupidity of wearing them in to begin with....so I replaced them last fall....and they too are now missing. Last known where abouts was last week, I wore them, took them off and have no idea where that was........

So add those to the list of ......I can't find.

But......on the good side, I found my cd-r discs....and....MY CELL PHONE.

So thank you St. Anthony, patron saint of lost items (and souls) my soul is in tact as is my faith...but I really could use some help in finding the keys to my car!!!!

I guess that will take a bit more looking and hoping and praying.....and lighting of more candles......I better go make a phone call.

Pray............

I awoke to this in my email this morning as many awoke to it on the news...something I don't make it a habit to watch.......please pray for the families being awakened to the knocks on the door today......

14 US soldiers killed in Iraq helicopter crash

August 22, 2007 - 7:23PM

A helicopter has crashed in northern Iraq, killing all 14 US soldiers aboard in the deadliest such crash since January 2005.

The US military said initial indications showed the aircraft experienced a mechanical problem and was not brought down by hostile fire, but the cause of the crash was still under investigation.

The UH-60 Black Hawk was one of two helicopters on a nighttime operation when the crash happened.

"There were no indications of hostile fire," the military said in a statement.

"Two UH-60 Black Hawk helicopters were on a night operation when one of the aircraft crashed.

"That helicopter had been carrying four crew members and 10 passengers."

The US military relies heavily on helicopters to avoid the threat of ambushes and roadside bombs - the deadliest weapon in the militants' arsenal. Dozens of choppers have crashed in accidents or been shot down.

The deadliest crash occurred on January 26, 2005 when a CH-53 Sea Stallion transport helicopter went down in a sandstorm in western Iraq, killing 31 US troops.

On January 20, a Black Hawk was apparently shot down in Diyala province northeast of Baghdad, killing 12 soldiers aboard.

The deaths raised to at least 3,721 members of the US military who have died since the Iraq war started in March 2003, according to an Associated Press count.
