The year I was born, 1964,
our friend “Uncle” Jimbo, then 19,
served his first of 4 Vietnam tours.
Jimbo, who videotaped Kelly’s birth.
Jimbo, who honored her this morning
by accepting her invitation to appear with
other Veterans in her school ceremony.
Jimbo, quick to laugh, love and lend a hand.
Jimbo, gift of a human and friend.
I reckon that was 55 words (non-fiction today) for The G-Man.
I’ll explain the Red Hatter thing sooner than later.
The hand on Jimbo’s shoulder in 2001 belonged to his sometimes-nice-but-more-often-crazy ex.
Luckily, he soon met and married a VERY nice lady, Terri. Kelly was a flower girl at their wedding, 2005.
Here we all were at Lake Buchanan…
Jimbo and Terri are AWESOME!!

Last week I mailed Dad that card and 24 photos.
Snagged the one of Niece Alyssa (bottom middle) off my sis’ FB page.
Dad, whom I get my poetic leanings from, will be 75 on Sunday the 30th.
But he’s younger than most 60-year-olds!
Lately he’s been in his woods cutting logs for NEXT winter. Yes – ’12 –’13.
Regrettably, Rosie wasn’t in the 2009 pic because she was busy chasing her 2-year-old son around.
I do have video of us all together on that day, tho. And can make stills from it!
And…
since my Hallmark-eat-your-heart-out poem for Dad is about 55 words…
let’s call this a 55 for the G-Man.
Post a fiction in 55 words, let G-Man know and he’ll comment.
whoooooohooooooooooo.

…so I am!
Giving away two organic soaps.
Two commenters chosen randomly
on this post will each receive one soap.
Via snailmail, as in The Postal Service.
PLUS, each a letter on these…
PLUS, each a NEW CAR!!!!!
Commenters world-wide welcome.
Say “no thanks” if opting out of give-away.
(Just kidding on the new car.)
Those were 55 words for The G-Man.
Write your own 55 — it’s fun and fat-free!
Let G-Man know you’ve posted it and he’ll pop over and comment.
Blue Bunny will announce the 2 winners on my 55 next week.
(Actual soaps somewhat smaller than photoshopped in G-Man’s hand.)

I order 4 Aventine Hill All Natural & Organic Handcrafted Soaps, and receive 5.
Plus, a cute little basket,
3 soaps in a “keeper” bag as a surprise for my daughter,
and a note, with lovely penmanship!!
Is that FREAKING AWESOME, or what!??!
The Child says “Oh, they’re so beautiful, I’ll never use them. I’ll just keep them to look at.”
I say “I can’t fully bask in the glory of these new soaps until we completely remodel the bathroom!!”
(But I will bask in them, starting today, now that the photos are taken.)
Yes, Sheila of the fabulous Ma Vie Folle blog and her equally wonderful Zensational Living site and I have been blogging buddies for quite a while now, so she’s extra nice to me,
but friends, — I gotta tell ya,
these soaps make me want to…
dance on cruise ship decks to the tune of her “Sun Salutation,”
roll every inch of me on the satin sheets of her “Lotus Blossom,”
warm myself by the bonfire glow of her Dune Grass,
welcome the first greening of spring on a dusting of her “Misty Moss,”
and cavort in fields of her “Oatmeal & Honey Goatmilk.”
I am NOT kidding on the exquisteness of Aventine Hill soaps.
When I’m an old lady, somebody please keep a basket of these by my e-z-up chair next to my computer, so their aroma will remind me of all the joys of my youth, okay? (Thank you.)
And of course, a big part of my soul wishes to keep her Namaste yoga collection forever on our dining room corner shelf, because the labels match so well.
But I like them in the bath best!
Sheila of Aventine Hill Bath Emporium also hand crafts additional bath and body products.
Now… the Misty Moss with a whisper of pink cedarwood is calling my name.
So gentle my face loves it too.
Posted with love by Jannie, who likes you and your blog.
