Rob Pattinson-Still Intoxicated After All These Years


This post is all about Robert.
I really haven't written much about him lately.
Yeah...
I get shit about that.
(I know, it's hard to believe, isn't it?)
But what has Robert done for me lately?
Where the hell IS he?
Haven't seen him since he landed down in ol' Louisiana.
What am I supposed to write if the guy
doesn't show his pretty face?
And I know some people don't want to admit this...
But Kristen is connected to Robert now.
So...
Writing about Kristen...
Usually means Robert is involved.


I've been reflecting on my 'obsession' with Rob.
I don't think I'm in that frame of mind anymore.
I don't think I have been for a while.
Oh don't get me wrong...
I still adore him.
I still am very much interested in his career...
I still adore him.
I still love looking at him.
I still adore him.
But not being as obsessed is good... right?
I've discussed this recently with someone who went through
this whole Robert Pattinson addiction/obsession with me.
She came out on the other side.
I'm still somewhere in the middle.
I might not be as angst-ridden when it comes to Rob...
But I'm still intoxicated.
Still.

I just happen to be in a better place.
Emotionally.
This is a bit embarrassing to admit...
But just LOOKING at pictures of Robert
made my stomach twist in knots...
He had such an effect on me
(and millions of other women)
This is why this blog exists.
I keep trying to figure out WHY he affected me like this.
Why him?
Because no other actor has ever 
EVER
affected me like this.
I'm not a fangirl kinda girl.
But Robert...
Well...
He melts my heart.


It would be dishonest of me not to admit
that the whole Edward Cullen connection didn't have
something to do with my initial attraction.
I mean...
Edward Cullen.
I couldn't get enough of him, either.
Reading the Twilight books end to end to end to end
Finding FanFiction...
and reading about a sexier, more mature...
Edward.
I love Edward Cullen.
And then Robert became Edward.
And I was a goner.
Wave goodbye to Rose!

I still haven't comes to grips with Edward.
But like my Robert addiction...
My Edward addiction has cooled off.
Coincidence?
Probably not.

I still love both the actor
and the character he portrays.
I just have it more under control.


That being said...
I still love you, Robert Pattinson!!

I'm thinking I'm a fan for life.
I can't imagine going through this intense adoration
to let it slip away in a few years.
No.
I'm very loyal to those I love.
But I don't give out my love to just anyone.
The only other beings that I have ever had this degree
of 'obsession' with...
The Beatles.
And more specifically Paul McCartney
(I know I have discussed this before)
I've loved the Beatles since I was 10 years old.
They seriously saved my life when I was a teenager.
Long story. Not exactly for a blog.
But that's how intense my love for the Beatles is.

And now there is Robert.


Sometimes I wish my love for Robert
was just based on something as shallow as just his good looks.
But you all know there is so much more to him than that.
And you all know that is why we all adore him.
He's special.
 So very special.
We all love him because he's not like the other guys.
We all fell in love with him after watching his early interviews...
All his charm...
All his intelligence...
All his wit...
All his humility...
All his adorkability.

Sometimes it makes me feel good knowing I'm not alone...
And sometimes I look around and wonder how 
I can even be in the same fan base as some people.


And last but not least...
Loving Robert means accepting that Kristen
is going to be involved in some way.
She just IS.
She's always there.
It just so happens that I love and adore Kristen, too...
So it's not a problem for me.

It's WIN/WIN

OK then.
I went through this whole post...
And I didn't 'eat hate with a spoon'.
I just talked about Robert.
And it felt good.
Because I have missed my Robert.
I have missed my intoxication.
And now I feel a bit dizzy...
So that's a good sign.
;)

This post is brought to you by the letter *R*

R for ROBERT PATTINSON
Always and forever, Robert...

Bye for now

gwen said...

So ok its almost holloween. I have a story to tell, it happened 2 or 3yrs ago. I dont believe in supernatural or something, i think its just an old stories of some sort.

Its oct 29 when my friends and i travel to an island and took road trip to go there. It was raining and we leave at our friend's house at 12am. We were in a van travelling at 60-80kph so we can arrive at our destination on-time. The travel time would be about 5-6hrs. It was a remote province, a bumpy road and a few houses kl apart frm each other.

Before leaving our friends house, her mother give us some garlic for protection of some sort. Well we took it, no harm done. They said there's a story behind that place but we pay no mind. Whose gonna believe them anyway in these times.

We were in the van,sleeping when suddenly we heard a loud bark from a dog, we think, and it felt so close like it was just beside us and mind you we were in a moving van! So everybody were wide awake, having goosebumps and we're so quite and vigilant. Then it suddenly disappeared. We freaked out when our driver suddenly stopped the van coz he dropped something. We never slept again that night until we reached our destination.

I swear i would never travel that place again. Maybe if there were direct flight frm manila.

Bren said...

Hi Dk, Gwen!

Are you home?

gwen said...

hi Bren! No im at work.

Bren said...

Hi Gwen.

I read your story, that is soooo creepy....

DreamerKind said...

I'm still on the telephono.

gwen said...

oh shes here or there somewhere probly lurking

yeah when i recall it, it still creeps me out. We havent talk about it again. Its like where in a scary movie, lol

Bren said...

WOW, the shit hit the fan again today huh?

I was following the play by play at work, but never had a chance to post...

Why is everyone so freaking crazy...

gwen said...

maybe becoz its full moon? LOL

Bren said...

Is it realy a full moon?

That would explain my job, everytime we have a full moon, all the psychos are out in full force..

Bren said...

sorry, meant really

Bren said...

Guys,

I've got my sister on the phone--check with you later..

gwen said...

did you know that during full moon, the moon's gravitational force is way more great that it pulls someone's crazy side. That is why the canine family acts like crazies.

The Best Is Yet To Come

Out of the tree of life I just picked me a plum
You came along and everything's startin' to hum
Still, it's a real good bet, the best is yet to come

Best is yet to come and babe, won't that be fine?
You think you've seen the sun, but you ain't seen it shine

a-Wait till the warm-up's underway
Wait till our lips have met
And wait till you see that sunshine day
You ain't seen nothin' yet

The best is yet to come and babe, won't it be fine?
Best is yet to come, come the day you're mine

Come the day you're mine
I'm gonna teach you to fly
We've only tasted the wine
We're gonna drain the cup dry

Wait till your charms are right for these arms to surround
You think you've flown before, but baby, you ain't left the ground

a-Wait till you're locked in my embrace
Wait till I draw you near
a-Wait till you see that sunshine place
Ain't nothin' like it here

The best is yet to come and babe, won't it be fine?
The best is yet to come, come the day you're mine

Come the day you're mine
And you're gonna be mine

Gwen,

It's Friday for you!!! yay

DreamerKind said...

Bren

I laughed too much before going to sleep last night, like you said, and had trouble calming myself down. Lol.

DreamerKind said...

Bren

How did it go with your mother today?

DreamerKind said...

Bren

It's Friday for us, too, sweetie.

gwen said...

yep TGIF! and we got to go go home early. Its a long weekend for me and im still thinking where to go...

DreamerKind said...

gwen

Stay away from the scary place. Go where there a lots of people.

Bren said...

Do you mean when I drove Miss Daisy to the doctor--it went good...I had to drink 2 cups of coffee so I could wake up...

It is Friday now, but Gwen was so looking forward to it...I'm off today, so I'm a happy camper too...

DreamerKind said...

Amazing how the braino sometimes needs some drano to clean it out.

Too peaceful at the moment, to fix my typos and too indifferent to proofread. I probably should GTFO.

gwen said...

DK

LOL. I've learned my lesson. Im thinking of zip lining... What ya think? That would be fun.

DreamerKind said...

GWEN

Yes, my son and his girl did that on Grenada before and are going back in November to do it again. They absolutely love it!

DreamerKind said...

Bren

Nice to hear that you are a happy camper. My idea of camping is a Holiday Inn! (very old and lame joke)

Bren said...

I wanted to post today, because Rose out did herself, but just couldn't fit it in.

There was all kinds of new names posting huh?

It's like the floodgates were open..all the drama, the tears ,the laughter..it was wild.

DreamerKind said...

Bren

I agree it was quite an experience. Very moving on many levels. Even though I just peeked in at times, cause I was busy, for me.

And I did write my little bit to Rose, Robert and our Smitty, too.

gwen said...

or i'll go to that adventure park here where you stand in a cliff when they suddenly take off the platform youre rtanding of.

DreamerKind said...

gwen

Fine, sounds like a thrilling and amusing thing to do before you die.

DreamerKind said...

gwen

Again, the son also jumped off of a cliff over a waterfall, into a pond, in Grenada.

Yes, you guessed it, this time, they both are going to do that.

gwen said...

earlier im not sure what i posted to Rose. I wasnt coherent coz my stupid brother kept me up to wait for him till 2am

Bren said...

Gruff is such a sweetheart, so soft spoken, so gracious...love him.

My sister called to see how I like my new shift...I told her I work swing shift at my reg job, then I work graveyard at Rose's..so now I have two full time jobs...and today I had a third---lurking. It's no wonder I'm exhausted..LOL

Gwen, I saw your name all over the board today---you did a fine job little soldier, you made us all proud!!!

gwen said...

DK

I think i had this suicidal streak in me, LOL. My mom would def. freak out, ha ha

DreamerKind said...

gwen

Oh, I am freaked out but can't save anyone, darling ones.

Bren said...

DK,

Tell me, before I fall asleep on you...who ruined your son's surprise party...I meant to ask you yesterday when you mentioned it....

DreamerKind said...

Bren

You are a fine little soldier also. How do you manage to do so much? Needs, must?

Lots of folks and things to love on this blog, in this world, with eyes to see, ears to hear.

DreamerKind said...

Bren

For once, I am so grateful that my big mouth did not betray it!

Hard to believe but it was a man, and he is my daughter's boyfriend. He was beyond embarrassed and turned moody but it was funny after all.

gwen said...

Gruff seldom post but when he does you can feel he's a mild-temper kind and soft spoken. But i bet he has also a temper when provoke.

Smitty, now shes a force to reckon with, lol

Syd well he's caring, sweet and know how to woo.

DreamerKind said...

gwen

So much is so right about so many in Roseland.

Good observations, missy.

DreamerKind said...

Bren, the brightest star I see tonight (along with gwen) are you fallen asleep?

Bren said...

I was researching something for Kami, so tomorrow I have to look her up.

I think I'm pretty done for tonight, guys

I really feel sleep deprived. I'm sure I'll feel better tomorrow.

Later...

DreamerKind said...

There are six songs, trying to pop out of my brain, to be posted right this minute, and I am waiting for some inspiration, to listen to the one that deserves to be.

DreamerKind said...

Bren

(Blowing you a kiss and waving the wand for your restful sleep.)

gwen said...

do you want me to describe each one of you here? LOL

gwen said...

Bren

you're usually the one who bailed out first at this time, lol

nite Bre! See you tom.

DreamerKind said...

That would be groovy for me.

gwen said...

Well DK it comes down to the two of us again

The Circle Game


Yesterday, a child came out to wander
Caught a dragonfly inside a jar
Fearful when the sky was full of thunder
And tearful at the falling of a star

And the seasons they go 'round and 'round
And the painted ponies go up and down
We're captive on the carousel of time
We can't return we can only look behind
From where we came
And go round and round and round
In the circle game

Then, the child moved ten times 'round the seasons
Skated over ten clear frozen streams
Words like, "When you're older", must appease him
And promises of someday make his dreams

Sixteen springs and sixteen summers gone now
Cartwheels turn to car wheels through the town
And they tell him, "Take your time. It won't be long now.
'Til you drag your feet to slow the circles down"

And the seasons they go 'round and 'round
And the painted ponies go up and down
We're captive on the carousel of time
We can't return we can only look behind
From where we came
And go round and round and round
In the circle game

So the years spin by and now the boy is twenty
Though his dreams have lost some grandeur coming true
There'll be new dreams, maybe better dreams and plenty
Before the last revolving year is through.

And the seasons they go 'round and 'round
And the painted ponies go up and down
We're captive on the carousel of time
We can't return, we can only look behind
From where we came
And go round and 'round and 'round
In the circle game
And go 'round and 'round and 'round in the circle game.

I think this is what RObert want. A normal fans
And I'm sure he wants the obssess fans to
Let it go and bcome to a normal fans status.
So its cool.

I think that Robert and Kristin are two separate people.
And I like rob. Don't have to like her.
But I do respect them. I think they do love each other.
And love is fantastic.

You Do Something To Me

Intro:
I was mighty blue,
thought my life was through,
till the heavens opened,
and I gazed at you.

Won’t you tell me, dear,
Why, when you appear,
something happens to me
and the strangest feeling
goes through me?

You do something to me,
something that simply mystifies me.
Tell me, why should it be
you have the power to hypnotize me?

Let me live ‘neath your spell,
Do do that voodoo
that you do so well.

For you do something to me
that nobody else could do!

You do something to me,
something that simply mystifies me.
Tell me, why should it be
you have the power to hypnotize me?

Let me live ‘neath your spell,
Do do that voodoo
that you do so well.

For you do something to me
that nobody else could do!

Since you came my way
I am bound to say
things I once thought gloomy
now both bright and gay.

I’m so happy now,
and I’m sure somehow,
of this transformation
there can be but
one explanation:

You do something to me,
something that simply mystifies me.
Tell me, why should it be
you have the power to hypnotize me?

Let me live ‘neath your spell,
Do do that voodoo
that you do so well.

For you do something to me
that nobody else could do!

Rose See,

Perfectly said. I'm in tears right now. :) This blog sums up all my adoration and honest feeling for Robert Pattinson. I always have difficulties phrasing my reasons why I adore him whenever people ask me why I'm so addicted to RPatzz. I just always end up smiling or encouraging them to go find for themselves.
When I'm sad, or angry or frustrated, I just take my time looking at his pictures and listening to his songs until I'm calm again. He has an unexplainable effect on me. Mostly, he brought me calmness. Oh I don't know! I've got so much to say about him but words aren't enough. I'm Robert Pattinson through through.

There But For You Go I

This is hard to say,
but as I wandered through the lea,
I felt for just a fleeting moment that I suddenly was free
of being lonely.

Then I closed my eyes and saw the very reason why.

I saw a man with his head bowed low.
His heart had no place to go.
I looked and I thought to myself with a sigh:
There but for you go I.

I saw a man walking by the sea,
Alone with the tide was he.
I looked and I thought as I watched him go by:
There but for you go I.

Lonely men around me, trying not to cry,
Till the day you found me, there among them was I.

I saw a man who had never known a love that was all his own.
I thought as I thanked all the stars in the sky:

There, but for you, go I.

Wand'rin' Star

I was born under a wanderin star
I was born under a wanderin star

Wheels are made for rollin
Mules are made to pack
I never seen a sight
that didn't look better looking back.

I was born under a wanderin star

Mud can make you prisoner
And the plains can bake you dry
Snow can burn your eyes
But only people make you cry

Home is made for comin from
For dreams of goin to
Which with any luck will never come true

I was born under a wanderin star
I was born under a wanderin star

Do I know where hell is?
Hell is in Hello
Heaven is good-bye forever
Its time for me to go

I was born under a wanderin star
A wanderin wanderin star

Mud can make you prisoner
And the plains can bake you dry
Snow can burn your eyes
But only people make you cry

Home is made for comin from
For dreams of goin to
Which with any luck will never come true

I was born under a wanderin star
I was born under a wanderin star

When I get to heaven
Tie me to a tree
Or Ill begin to roam
And soon you know where I will be

I was born under a wanderin star
A wanderin wanderin star

Good morning Roseland…TGIF!!

Looks like the Roseland forces slapped down a big win yesterday! Nice…

Kami and Kay, I’m with you on the sidelines. I’ve never been into cheerleading, but I’ll throw on pom poms, bows, and the outfit for this team any day :)

I don’t have any cookies or chocolate to share, but my daughter came home from college yesterday and requested one of her faves. It isn’t fat free or an aphrodisiac so maybe not the right kind of soup?

Potato Leek Soup
1 cup thinly sliced onion
1 cup thinly sliced leeks
4 cups peeled potatoes, diced
6 cups chicken stock
1 stick butter
Salt
Pepper
Grated cheddar cheese
Bacon (cooked)
Diced chives
In stock pan: melt butter, stir in onions and leeks. Cover and cook 20min. Add diced potatoes, cover and cook an additional 20 min. Add chicken stock and simmer 20-30 min or until potatoes are done. Puree mixture (immersible blender works best),salt and pepper to taste. Garnish each serving with cheese, crumpled bacon, and chives (optional). Double for over 5 people.

Feeding Roseland is better than feeding trolls right? Smitty…no torture intended…promise.

Susan, glad to see you found the headpiece to go with your costume, but I left you the bedazzled helmet in the shed just in case :)

Elaine *HUGS* hope your day is better today.

Tracy…Flove you…just sayin ;)

The cricket left or died or something--thank god.

Good morning Melinda, Cate, Smitty,

Finally Friday!

Smitty,

Are you ok? I hope you didn't get a bruise or cut or something.

Anonymous said...

Hi Penny,

I have a big ass bump but it doesn't show-I'm okay. It was just very disorienting to wake up, on the floor with this incredible pain and have no clue where the hell I was or why.

Nice little golf ball on the back but no real harm.

Mary said...

Smitty,

That's probably going to cause some discomfort for awhile. At least you didn't bang your face.

I tripped last year running out to get the mail. I landed on my face. I had a swollen lip and my face was all banged up around my eye. I looked like a battered wife. I didn't leave the house for over a week.

Melinda said...

Aw Smitty glad you are okay. Well at least I am in good company with you two since I missed the last two steps going down stairs last night. Didn't turn the light so I got what was coming. No damage.

Hi Smitty :)

While I have no bump on my head, I do seem to have a crew of jackhammers going this morning in there... have had a restless night.
I'm glad to hear the cricket has left the building though. Those fuckers are annoying.

Hi Penny

I flove you too, Cate.

Morning Cate, Melinda, Smitty & Penny!

I am SO glad it's Friday!!

Cate,

Thanks for the recipe :) Potato soup is my favorite! I may try it this weekend.

Smitty,

Sorry you fell out of bed...your middle name isn't Grace by chance?? Just kidding. My Daughter's is and she falls out of bed and going UP the stairs all the time. It's a little inside joke in our family.

gwen said...

Good morning Cate, Melinda, Smitty and Penny!

Did you enjoy your cookies last night? I'm wondering how many you ended up eating ;)

Melinda said...

Morning Tracy (and the cat), Leigh, and Gwen!

Another yummy sounding recipe. Thanks!

PL- that story you told well I probably wouldn't go out of my house either. That sounded painful.

Leigh,

I managed to stop with two last night. I haven't been in the kitchen yet this morning, so I've not been tempted yet today. Those things are delicious.

gwen said...

Hello Leigh and Tracy!

Penny- its almost 10pm in here. Its time for me to stay away from the computer and rest now.

Have a nice day to you Roselanders :-)

Mary said...

Melinda,

I wouldn't even go to the doctor even though I thought I may have broken my hand. I was that embarrassed.

I have fallen out of bed and banged my head before too. The reason it happened tho, um, were maybe because we were getting a little too rambunctious. (blush).

Melinda said...

Well Penny if you are going to fall out of bed, what a way to go!! ;)

Anonymous said...

Sweet dreams, Gwen :)

Tracy,

That's why they had to be put in the trunk of the Hubster's car! White chocolate is my favorite :)

I'm outta here Ladies. Must get to work! Have a fabulous day!!

Okay work has to be done but will pop in and out.

Mary said...

Melinda,

Have a good day. I'm out for awhile too.


I deleted, just because.

Melinda said...

PL- smart thinking...ttyl

Caroline said...

Good Morning Roseland!

Rose-
Your post and some of the comments after left me a little teary (in a good way). Thank you for giving us such a wonderful place to share laughter and encouragement.

Tracy-
I'm glad you had a good time in New Orleans. It's one of my favorite cities.

Melinda- I fully support arming the Sillibillie Mafia with real guns...we can't let the Nuns have all the fun. ; )

SueBee-
I love the flapper costume. You look great!

Cate & Gwen-
Thanks for the great recipes. : )

Smitty-
I'm sorry you hit your head this morning and I'm glad that you're OK. But if you should develop a headache, blurry vision, nausea, neck pain, an unusual level of fatigue or dizziness; please have it checked out by a doctor. I'm sorry if I'm being a busybody and a nag, but I am a nurse and we specialize in being busybody nags. : )

Caroline-

I'm okay--thanks though. It was just embarrassing more than anything else.

Go Penny!! lol! Wish I had some great story to go with my bump. I was quite asleep but just saw what you wrote. too funny.

Mary said...

Smitty,

You know, what can I say. Glad I made you laugh.


Seriously, check in with us later so we know you're alright. Traumatic Brain injury is nothing to fool around with.

PL I worry if I'm not worrying...lol

Smitty, you're right we are all a little over protective of you..Someone once compared everyone here to Mama Bears, and if that is true...then that kinda sorta makes you our Cub. And we all know you are perfectly able to take care of yourself without our help, but it won't stop us from offering. Besides I'm just bossy by nature...so please be careful and don't ignore important signs about the bump on the head. (k i'm done being bossy for today, i hope) =)

jentoo said...

Hey yall! Hope everyone is having great Friday so far...and that everyone stays injury free for the rest of the day! I'm kind of excited because my college boy is coming home this weekend. He's only an hour and a half away, but damn...I miss that kid! The huge pile of laundry he usually brings home, however, I could do without. So, off to the store to fill up the fridge so he can empty it out by Sunday!

I truly hope everyone has a wonderful day!

jentoo said...

Hey Kami.....I hope you have a great day:)

Kami said...

Thanks Jentoo,hope you do also

Mary said...

Hi Kami,

I think worrying keeps us thin. We expend a lot of energy towards nothing.

I worry I didn't turn off the stove or the curling iron. Did I lock the door? So I retrace my steps so many times that I figure I must be walking an extra mile a day.

I'm really bored today, can you tell?

Kami said...

LOL Penny, I do those things too..and when my hubby is out of town I lay in bed and worry "Did I lock ALL the doors so finally bout 3 I get up and check them all, go get back in bed and probably will worry that I forgot to unplug something in the basement and then get up, go down stairs...it's so stupid, I know but I'm glad to know I'm not the only one.

Elaine said...

Penny-

Omg!!! What a way to fall! At least you were having fun ;) love it!!!

Check back later-I'm driving and stuck in traffic! Needed my Roseland fix!

SueBee said...

Hello Everyone!

Super huge Tigger Tackle Hugs all around!!!!

Ooops--now that I've knocked everyone down with affection I better help you back up!

How are you doing?

SueBee said...

Where the hell did everyone go? Yoooo Hoooooooo????

Did I knock everyone out with my mad hugging skills?

Okay, suppose I'll check in later!

DreamerKind said...

SueBee
That was one powerful tackle hug! I haven't seen anyone back here yet.

How fortunate we are to have Roselander nurses and so many other professionals, who will give guidance, when things go bump in the night.

Miss Smitty
Glad you're good to go.

Good day Roseland!

Hi Roseland! :)

Smitty, You fell out of bed? Oh dear sweetie. Are you ok? Did a certain someone help you up after? I hope so! LOL

Cate, can I come over when you make that soup? My stomach was growling just reading that recipe, well I actually wrote it down, I am so going to make that one day soon. Sounds so yummy on a cold fall night to have. I want it now lol

Birdie said...

I am a RN,also. I'm just curious. How many of you are there?

DreamerKind said...

Birdie

Hi, again! Count me as 1, for I am here.

DreamerKind said...

This is a tribute song for a friend who eased on down the road recently.
With love for Jon B:



I've Gotta Be Me

Whether I'm right or whether I'm wrong
Whether I find a place in this world or never belong
I gotta be me, I've gotta be me

What else can I be but what I am?

I want to live, not merely survive
And I won't give up this dream
Of life that keeps me alive

I gotta be me, I gotta be me
The dream that I see makes me what I am

That far-away prize, a world of success
Is waiting for me if I heed the call
I won't settle down, won't settle for less

As long as there's a chance that I can have it all

I'll go it alone, that's how it must be
I can't be right for somebody else
If I'm not right for me

I gotta be free, I've gotta be free
Daring to try, to do it or die
I've gotta be me

I'll go it alone, that's how it must be
I can't be right for somebody else
If I'm not right for me

I gotta be free, I just gotta be free
Daring to try, to do it or die
I gotta be me!

New post!

Jane said...

Elvis Presley and now Rob Pattinson is what has done it for me but I truly think I am more obsessed with Rob than I was Elvis. I was very young when Elvis appeared and he was more like a brother to me but Rob.....no brother feeling here, just pure obsession.

ems13zen18 said...

rose!i am you, you are me. i was just telling my daughter the other day that i haven't felt like this since the beatles. paul mccartney owned my fan heart since 1974.now he must share it with robert. i'm almost ashamed of my obsession. he totally floats my boat! i actually pray fo him and kristen occasionally. i still pray for paul. that they stay safe and healthy and happy. am i pathetic?

ems13zen18 said...

oops! it's really late. i meant since 1964.

ems13zen18 said...

and i meant to thank you,rose,for this site and all the great pix.
