Thankful and Poetic
That’s me!!!
FIRST – I’m THANKFUL for my little baby Brother Teddy because he makes my Mom and Dad happy – and that makes ME happy!
If you’d like to see what others are THANKFUL for today, please visit Brian’s blog by clicking on the badge below! Use the LINKY to hook yourself up and VOILA – you’ll be hopping!
NEXT, today is my Thoroughly Poetic Thursday poem day and our letter of this week is the letter “J”!
If you’d like to play along – we do the next letter of the alphabet each week – today is J and next week will be K, etc. If you’d like to write a poem and share it HERE, you can put it in my comments, but you can also write your OWN poem on your OWN blog and post the link in my comments!!! We’d love to read your poem!
“J”
“Junior”
By Angel Sammy, 2/16/17
He’s my new baby brother and it shows
We could be twins but he’s got “normal” toes!
He’s cute and happy and smart
He’s captured everyone’s heart.
I’m Guardian Angel to Teddy
Through good times and bad I’ll be ready
I’ll protect him and help him to be strong
To accept there will be times when he’s wrong
To show Mom and Dad all his love
Like I will FOREVER from above.
**With Pride, Angel Sammy**
My little brother is certainly catching on to everything QUICKLY. I also believe he sees me from time to time as he does that “stare off into outer space” thing and Mom and Dad have seen him do that………..I’ve told him it’s OK for him to do that since my Mom also occasionally sees me and has “that look” !!! Oh yeah – since I found this little guy for my parents to adopt, the least I can do is keep a CLOSE EYE on him while he grows up! Here are the latest photos in a fast slideshow – you have to be QUICK to catch him on film – a second before the camera takes a photo he moves – NEVER FAILS! I remember I was pretty good at that too…….tee hee.
See you tomorrow for FRIDAY FILL-INS!!! I might let Teddy answer this week!
Love, Angel Sammy

Oh Angel Sammy! What have I missed!! Hi Teddy, so nice to meet you and to say you are a chip off the old block is putting it mildly! You are just what the doctor ordered, I reckon!

Good morning Miss Pix! Teddy is certainly keeping things ALIVE around here with his energy. I think he’s now “seeing” me as he will look up at the ceiling and be very still sometimes (when I’m telling him something important!) – and Mom told Dad that he was seeing/listening to me. WELL OF COURSE I AM!!!!!!! Anyway, we thought we’d best change the name of the blog officially……it was time.

Hi CK! Yes Teddy is like a mini-me only multiply ME by 10 when it comes to energy and friendliness when I was his age! I was a very shy feral baby and Teddy is just the opposite – he loves EVERYBODY. So you have pix of your ghost? Would love to see them. My Mom had a picture of a ghost that visited us some time ago one Christmas – a light ball in the living room. The WEIRD thing is that the photo has disappeared from her picture files. Strange.
