Thou art thy mother's glass, and she in thee
Calls back the lovely April of her prime...
Sonnet 3, Shakespeare
Christopher liked this t shirt so much he got me the same one too.
Does it remind you of a Beatles song? You know the one, I bet you can guess it, can't you? "Picture yourself in a boat on the river"...there, that's an easy clue!
Here is a great video of the Beatles singing "We Can Work It Out". I love that song. "Life is very short and there's no time for fussing and fighting my friend."
=========================================================
I am always trying to get my son to read my blog. Maybe he will read this post! (You know I love you, Christopher!)
I wish you all a safe and happy weekend. Mind how you go.
Christopher is probably a phantom reader of your blog....and keeps his secret from you! :)
ReplyDeleteYou've been sprung, Christopher!!! :)
Ha, ha..yes, I bet he wakes up each day and rushes to the computer just to read my latest post! You are funny. Lee! :-)
DeleteThat is one sweet boy.

Yes, and you know you can tell by his smile, can't you? He has always been sweet!
DeleteAlso, just have to say...I love The Princess Bride also! And Johnny Cash and Ella Fitzgerald, not to mention Winnie the Pooh! xx
Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds. He's a sweetie, Kay!
ReplyDeleteYes! And you are right, he is a sweetie! xx
DeleteHaha, Lucy in the sky with diamonds - brilliant! I want one of those, too :-D
ReplyDeleteIt makes me smile when I wear it, it is subtle too, nothing over the top!
DeleteI must re-visit Shakespeare's sonnets.
ReplyDeleteAh yes, I will be testing you in a future post! Just kidding! :-)
DeleteA lovely photo of you two, very sweet. My children don't read my blog at all - I guess they think it is embarrassing!
ReplyDeleteYes, I wonder how often I embarrassed my son as he was growing up, I hate to think of it!
DeleteHappy Sunday! It never occurred to me that said "Lucy" could be the one from "Peanuts".
ReplyDeleteIt is just a play on words and my son and I have a great love of Peanuts AND the Beatles! I have been told I look a bit like Lucy and hey, I sometimes act like her!
Delete"Life is very short and there's no time for fussing and fighting my friend." I love this line. So true. And such a great song! Happy Sunday, Kay.
ReplyDeleteI know! We need to make it into an anthem and make people sing it over and over! Let's have a "We Can Work It Out" rally! Oh, but then, someone would argue the best way to do it! :-) Happy Sunday, Martha!
DeleteHi Kay, I really like seeing this photo of you and your handsome son. You look so pretty and happy. Blessings to you both, xoxo, Susie
ReplyDeleteYou can tell I was thrilled to have my son visit us...this was Mother's Day, last year or the year before, can't remember! Blessings to you, Susie! xx
DeleteWonderful, wonderful words by Shakespeare. There isn't much he didn't talk about, is there? I love the tee shirt, and the photo of you two. My kids don't read the blog either, even if there is something about their children! However, my mother-in-law may just be my biggest fan. She says the nicest things about my posts.
ReplyDeleteOh, then I want to meet your mother-in-law, she must be a genius! You have a wonderful blog, I remember when you decided to stop writing and how sad I felt. And then, you decided to keep it! :-)
DeleteYou canny go wrong with the Beatles!
ReplyDeleteYou know I agree!
DeleteThat's a nice Tshirt, and I love your wavy hair.
ReplyDeleteOh my dear, I have THE worst hair in the entire universe, no lie. I have to tame it into some kind of hair shape! So I thank you for your kind words!
DeleteWhat a cute pic of you and your son! Love it! I also loved the video...man how I loved Paul back in the day! Life was very short for John wasn't it. Have a good rest of this weekend.
ReplyDeleteThanks! And I am glad that we still have Paul and Ringo with us, I miss both John and George. Love the Beatles and the music they gave us.
DeleteWhat a beautiful photo, Kay!!!
ReplyDeleteHey Audrey! Thank you and I am so happy to see your smiling face here! Hope you and your family are happy and healthy, enjoy your summer with the girls! xx
DeleteThere are so many tales of the origin of Lucy. The Beatles claimed that Julian had made a picture when he was very young. The girl in the picture was supposed to be Lucy... in the sky with diamonds. They have since admitted that it was about LSD.
ReplyDeleteDon't you think it was a little of both? Julian most certainly made the drawing of his friend Lucy but John Lennon, being a songwriter, also would have made the connection with LSD and therefore, this song.
DeleteSometimes it is not one or the other, it is the combination of the two.
By the way, Julian Lennon...my husband has him on Facebook, and he is an outstanding man, just a really great guy, very concerned for the world and all the people on it. (Sean Lennon also, John would be proud of both, I think.)
I had my sister read my blog at one point. I think it's better if the family doesn't. But that's just my perspective. It made me afraid to say certain things. As a mother you could just berate Christopher until he does. Never doubt the power a mother has over her son.
ReplyDeleteYou might think I have great influence over my son but alas, he is like his English father, very polite and then they pretty much do their own thing and don't pay one bit of attention to me!
DeleteMaybe you are right, best the family doesn't read my blog. They would never guess at how sweet I come across here, they might think it is someone else! HA!
