1. I love how Chipstar(as I call her) puts all these

historical memories together for posterity.

Thank you, she, for bringing them on board

Hugging Gabby in January!

[sheshe2]

2. I felt we needed a little peace in our lives right now!

I think you said Chipstick/Star was a DU'er...left to start Obama Diary?

Well Hell...one awesome lady! Her vids were fabulous!

[Cha]

3. She is one awesome lady..

She lives in Dublin and attended Obama's frist Inauguration.. dunno know if she's going for the 2nd one. She really likes our President!

She was a poster on DU who always had great pic threads of his Presidency.. but, the haters were taking over and her Photo-journal threads would turn into a carp fest. So, she left and started her own blog.. as I said before, "Best Thing That Ever Happened!"

I knew you would like her site, she.

4. P.S. NYC SKP has an OP about her

right now..

5. OMG that is Chipstar? I just watched and posted on NYC SKP'S OP!

Say hi to her for me....awesome pictures!

[Cha]

6. Yeah, pretty neat coincidence, huh?

You get the whole picture.. of her service to our country from Ireland.

An aside.. We share the same birthday and when I found out this year.. I was on cloud 13 I'm like..wow!

[sheshe2]

7. Well Happy Birthday to you both...whenever that may be.

Don't grieve for me, for now I'm free!

Thank you Jackeens! Beautiful pictures. Truly beautiful.
If you still come by...Hello.


An Irish Blessing

Remembered Joy

Don't grieve for me, for now I'm free!
I follow the plan God laid for me.
I saw His face, I heard His call,
I took His hand and left it all...
I could not stay another day,
To love, to laugh, to work or play;
Tasks left undone must stay that way.
And if my parting has left a void,
Then fill it with remembered joy.
A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss...
Ah yes, these things I, too, shall miss.
My life's been full, I've savoured much:
Good times, good friends, a loved-one's touch.
Perhaps my time seemed all too brief—
Don't shorten yours with undue grief.
Be not burdened with tears of sorrow,
Enjoy the sunshine of the morrow.


An Old Celtic Blessing

May the blessing of light be on you—
light without and light within.
May the blessed sunlight shine on you
and warm your heart
till it glows like a great peat fire.
Do Not Stand at My Grave and Weep
Do not stand at my grave and weep,
I am not there... I do not sleep.
I am the thousand winds that blow...
I am the diamond glints on snow...
I am the sunlight on ripened grain...
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you waken in the morning's hush,
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of gentle birds in circling flight...
I am the soft star that shines at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry—
I am not there... I did not die...

Thanks Cha!

10. Oh wow, the first one brought me to tears. These are wonderful. Thanks Jackeens and Sheshe.

[sheshe2]

11. So wish I was here when Jackeens was.

A lady after my own heart!

[freshwest]

12. I wasn't either. Remember Kadie's pix? They were so good! Here's one:

She kept us going most of this year with huge photo spreads. And her Journal is here:

Anyone talked to her lately? She posted a few days ago, but I don't know where.

[sheshe2]

13. We will Freshwest! We will take the Rain!

"I'll Take The Rain"


The rain came down
The rain came down
The rain came down on me.

The wind blew strong
The summer song
Fades to memory

I knew you when
I loved you then
The summer's young and helpless.

You laid me bare
You marked me there
The promises we made.

I used to think
As birds take wing
They sing through life so why can't we?
You cling to this
You claim the best
If this is what you're offering
I'll take the rain
I'll take the rain
I'll take the rain.

The nighttime creases
Summer schemes
And stretches out to stay.
The sun shines down
You came around
You love easy days.

But now the sun,
The winter's come.
I wanted just to say
That if I hold
I'd hope you'd fold Open up inside, inside of me.

I used to think
As birds take wing
They sing through life so why can't we?
You cling to this
You claim the best
If this is what you're offering
I'll take the rain
I'll take the rain
I'll take the rain.

This winter song
I'll sing along
I've searched its still refrain
I'll walk alone
I've given this, take wing
Celebrate the rain.

I used to think
As birds take wing
They sing through life so why can't we?
You cling to this
You claim the best
If this is what you're offering
I'll take the rain
I'll take the rain
I'll take the rain.

15. Yes, I had to google the lyrics and find the song on youtube and iTunes.

The video was so perfect for it!
