It's All about Me

This is Me summed up in verse. When the time comes, hopefully not too soon, it will come in useful.


She loved the animals, the horses best

She also felt a love for all the rest.

She watched the birds

She wrote in words

She painted in oils

She collected earth's spoils.

She gardened and mowed

Her children she spoiled

Her machines she oiled.

She fed all her friends

She tied up loose ends

She knitted and sewed

She carded and spun.

She loved every one

She liked to play chess

She lived in a mess.

Computers her playthings

Her car full of dings,

She traveled the earth with joy and with mirth.

Wondrous places were her home.

She planned to write a mighty tome.

Ponds and fishes were her delight.

She watched the stars most every night.

Her love for family was most strong.

She helped them all to get along.

Wonderful Wales was her home

It gave her strength and let her roam.

Farms and fields were her domain

Whether the weather was sunny or rain.

Lots of Children came to play.

they all said we will miss our Raye.

This Obituary was written as an exercise in our writing class, Lifescapes at our Incline Village Library. I am sure it will come in useful one day! Well 3 years on I'm still around and nothing has changed except the addition of a beautiful Granddaughter now three years old. Even more reason to hang around!

well it's 2013 and I'm enjoying retirement in three continents. Currently I'm ducking the cold Sierra winter for Summer in NZ . I feel I have been so lucky to enjoy this privileged life style.

I awake at Dawn

Dawn at Lake Taupo. Promise of a new Day!
