My mother-in-law used to keep this notebook (which I now have) of clippings and tear-outs of poems and cliché sayings. She used to find from all over the place, almost all of them have no names associated with them, only a few have a way to actually find their original source, but most of them are quite uplifting and humorous. This is the poem I found in her stash this morning from an unknown author. A title that first came to mind was Dazed and Confused but I think Led Zeppelin has that one covered. The author titled this poem “A Little Mixed Up”.
A Little Mixed Up
Just a line to say I’m living
That I’m not among the dead,
Tho’ I’m getting more forgetful
And more mixed up in the head.For sometimes I can’t remember,
Where I stand at the foot of the stair
If I must go up for something
Or – if I’ve just come down from thereAnd, before the frig’ – so often
My poor mind is filled with doubt.
Have I just put the food away, or
Have I come to take some out?And, then there’s times when it is dark out,
With my night cap on my head
I don’t know if I’m retiring —
Or – just getting out of bed.So, if it’s my turn to write you
There’s no need in getting sore,
I may think that I have already written
And don’t want to be a bore.So – remember that I do love you,
And – I wish that you were here.
And – now it’s nearly mail-time
So – I must say, “Good-bye m’dear”.There I stood beside the mail-box
With a face so very red.
Instead of mailing you my letter
I had opened it – instead!!

I rarely ever post an image on this blog that is not mine, but in this case I had to make an exception. Some nice person thought I needed a laugh today and sent this set of church signs over to me. I can’t even begin to address the issues involved here and just had to laugh. I don’t know whether this is pathetic or hilarious, anyone care to voice an opinion? I do know a very predominant church in our area that has a blessing each year for pets, and many people bring their pets up to the church to be blessed and prayed over by the senior pastor.
Apparently these two churches are across the road from each other on some busy street, go figure. Don’t think I have ever seen two churches go at each other like this via signage, I just had to laugh. To see these crazy interesting church signs just click the continue link below. I couldn’t bare to post the images on the front page of my blog sorry.

Update
It has been pointed out by someone far more observant than myself that these photos were photoshopped in some manner (obvious from the background of the Catholic church site). Just one more reason I don’t usually post any photos that don’t come right out of my own camera, so take them for what their worth above. My appologies for not seeing this upfront, I will certainly not use that particular source again.
