My Apple Board

Above my burdened desk hangs my bulletin board.. I think I must try make time to get a bigger one soon. My busy life has crowded this one so much, I can't find what I had just posted there yesterday. I love this board, it looks like a giant brown apple, outlined in red , so ripe in the bounty of my life. A school picture of the apple of my aging eyes, my oldest grandson, dangles from the apple stem. Little ones peek through reminders, an unpaid bill, Thank you cards and a dental appt., now there's a thrill! The corner of my favorite card juts out behind a recipe .. The card is a picture of two dinosaurs on the bank.. watching the ark sail away..one says to the other. " Oh crap! Was that today?, the inside is still blank." A calendar tells me what the rest of the month holds. This collage of my life is a pleasure in my day. Maybe I wont get a bigger one after all... 10/ 13/13
