Daddy, far too many years have flown past,Since I have gotten to see you last.I remember those faded overalls you'd wear,And that worn out hat over your thinning hair.Your hands, dirty from planting bulbs,You spent your life doing what you loved.I admired you dad, and loved you too,Though you are gone, but I still do.These da...

The elusive hands of time, often teasing me and taunting me, confusing and playing tricks on my mind.

After thirty-five years of tending to my own garden, I could give quite a detailed list as to the type of gifts to give someone like myself.

Though I first thought this may be an actually good idea, my second thought completely over-ruled it. There is no way that there is a possibility that we will be faced with such an option. If Barack Obama wins the Democratic nomination, like he egotistically believes, there is no way that Senator Clinton will be involved with... More..

With all of the fun party favors that there are out there, having a party for the kids might be the best way to spend New Years Eve. The noisemakers are always popular with the little ones, and they aren't as annoyed with those hats like adults are. Having been the 'caretaker' of my grandchildren during this festive night, as...

Relationships & Family > Romance & Sexuality What makes a man sexy?: 23 of 56
Having known many men in my life, I have definitely encountered my fair share of sexiness. I have always loved a man that is able to hold his liquor like a gentleman, yet still have a good time.
