J-B is having a milestone birthday today! We’ll be celebrating it tomorrow because his family gets first crack at him on his actual day, naturally.

Here is what I posted on his Facebook page today:

♩ ♩ ♫ The bear went over the mountain
the bear went over the mountain
the bear went over the mountain…
…and you went over the hill! ♫ ♬ ♩
Happy 60th John! MWAH!

I love birthdays, and couldn’t let his 60th pass without fanfare… but I couldn’t bring myself to be entirely nice about it, either. He’d question its sincerity! haha

Happy Birthday, Darling J-B! Have a wonderful day, and see you tomorrow for lunch!!

*hugs*

Sorry for my absence, if you were missing me. If you were not, then . . . . Here’s a few humble offerings for this week’s theme on “school”:

School me; oh baby!
So much to learn, ….. ; so naive, . . . .
Will grow up one day . . . . . .

Why haven’t I learned?
So naive!; so innocent . . . . . .
Help me; get me through . . . . . .

I trust you have all been well, and I hope to see you back here again soon!

Cheers!!

Well, I know where he is, but I forget what day he said he’d be home! Soon, I think.

You’ve been missed, J-B. Welcome home (whenever you get here… sheesh)

Good Haiku-day, my friends! Here’s a few thoughts I share with you on this week’s theme: “Living”.

Living: make life count.
We know not ’bout tomorrow,
but today is now!

Living for today,
or for the rest of your days?
Your choice. Choose wisely!

Be well, all of you, live a great week, and see you next! Best, j-b.

A sad week this is. Not much joy for Jenn. But, as she and her family recall all those precious moments with Mamie, there is is so much “Joy” to be had in her love for family and in all the memories . . . . . . . .

We are all thinking of you now, Jenn, and warmly embracing you with our best hugs . . . .

Who makes us joyous?
Friends? Family? Who is else?
Be strong! We are here!

Have faith, Jenn. All of us are here for you! Remember that, always!!!

Here for you . . . ..

See you all next week! Best, as always,
j-b

Greetings Haiku affecionados! Been away awhile, but pleased to be here again. It’s so good for one’s health to create Haiku . . . . Here’s a few for you:

Taken for granted:
friendships, peace, love, joy and health.
Nurture them always!

The best medicine?
Life’s tonic mixer of course:
family and friends!

Hope you stay well, and we’ll talk next week! J-B

What will we do with J-B away for 3 weeks?? Oh the Haiku-manity!!!

Well, he was in dire need of a good vacation, so he deserves it and I can’t begrudge him his time away. He and his wife are off on a 2 week Mediterranean Cruise with a few days on either end to explore their departure (in Spain) and final (in Italy) ports. I’m sure they’re going to have a fabulous adventure! I guess we’ll get by without his brilliant haiku… somehow.

Oh I know! We’ll coerce ShaMoo back into blogging by doing a guest post on my other blog! Yep, that will do nicely.

Check out ShaMoo’s Guest Post this coming Monday, May 2nd. I’ve read it, and… wow, I feel her pain.

In the mean time… have a great weekend! I’m off to explore a hiking trail with my kids.

Greetings, Haiku aficionados! We turn to this week’s theme of “shadow”, and see what images we can conjure up . . . . .

What is so eerie
about shadows in darkness?
Fear of the unseen!

So what has happened?
Shadow of my former self;
fresh awakening . . . .

Hope you can reflect on some of these with both some contemplation and some mirth. Have a great week everyone. Off-line for a few weeks myself now, but back with you all later in May. Be well, and care for those who matter to you; including you! Cheers, j-b.

Good day! Wednesday / Haiku day again already! I offer these for this week:

Paying attention?
Don’t let your focus wander:
disastrous results!

Find yourself confused?
Thought you had it figured out?
Look for the signals.

Have a terrific week everyone. Stay safe, by paying attention. See you next! Cheers, j-b.

Greetings our Haiku friends, as the network continues to grow . . . A couple from the j-b: limited capacity this week: sorry!

It’s spring; growth begins.
Exhilarating, for sure!
Life renewed, again!

We learn as we go:
so many trials, pluses!
Happy together!

Have a terrific week everyone, and see you next! Best, j-b!!!
