Leaving yesterday behind

Last night the Miller brothers, their wives and Susan Miller came for a visit and did not leave until 11 p.m. - it was a fun evening of desserts and reminiscing. I had spent the day with my lovely grandchildren, Hannah and Kaylee. We did a few yard sales, Wal-Mart, a picnic in the park with bread, cheese and grape juice, fed the ducks, a trip to Franklin to visit my mom and then came home. Am I avoiding being alone? I think so. Last night was a sad night after everyone left...I sure am missing my Todd!

Todd left me all of his tapes and written songs - he would not let me listen to them when he was here and could sing to me. He was a closet songwriter and I love to listen to his voice on the tapes singing...here is my favorite, written before he and I got together:

Lookin' for tomorrow, leaving yesterday behind
Lookin' for happiness, I'm trying to find.
Someone to make me happy, So I don't lose my mind
Yes, I am lookin' for tomorrow, leaving yesterday behind

Thinking back on yesterday when I was just a kid
Memories of younger days and crazy things I did
Now all my childhood days are no longer mine
Yes, I am lookin' for tomorrow, leaving yesterday behind

Lookin' for tomorrow, leaving yesterday behind
Lookin' for happiness, I'm trying to find.
Someone to make me happy, So I don't lose my mind
Yes, I am lookin' for tomorrow, leaving yesterday behind

Tomorrow will be brighter, when the sun comes up
A new lover will come along and drink from my lovin' cup
A new face that will replace those old memories in my mind
Yes, I am lookin' for tomorrow, leaving yesterday behind

Lookin' for tomorrow, leaving yesterday behind
Lookin' for happiness, I'm trying to find.
Someone to make me happy, So I don't lose my mind
Yes, I am lookin' for tomorrow, leaving yesterday behind
Yes, I am lookin' for tomorrow, leaving yesterday behind

  1. Next month we will do a brunch here at our place. We should have started the gatherings a long time ago. Life is way to short. We love you!
