Benji

I do not have a picture of my photograph, but I will describe it.


Benji was exactly what someone would use to describe a dog.  "Man's best friend".  Benji was a perfect mutt, scruffy and wiry as could be with erect ears.  He was fun sized, he liked to go for boat rides across the family pond.  Benji was a family friend, protector and comic.  In the picture he is shown next to a beer can while standing on the dock at the family farm.

Remi

        Remi lived alone in a back alley in Mexico City.  A very dangerous place for any dog to live, for in this city, dog fights thrived, with cruel men picking up any dog from the street to be either a competitor, or bait, to be ripped to shreds by the challengers.  Remi could barely keep up with the world around him.  For such a tiny dog, he kept up fairly well however.
       One day, a very important religious figure was in town.  Remi was curious to all the hullabaloo and went and followed the trail.  There were flowers and people cheering, Remi felt like a prince!  He held his head high and pranced down the street.  Such a wonderful moment for such a small dog.

Maybe Glen McBride

This is Maybe Glen and her Aunt Mini.  Maybe was quite a tomboy.  She dreaded dress and pretty shoes.  She loved chasing toads and rolling in mud.  It took hours to scramble her into a dress, little legs flailing everywhere, kicking and screaming.  Mini was anything but pleased with her five year old niece's behavior.  The only way that they could get Maybe to sit still for the photographer was to put her on the neighbor's pony Finnegan.

My love, be at peace

You’ve seen too much

You’ve bled enough

Where is society

Mon amour , être en paix

Vous avez vu trop de
Vous avez saigné assez
Où est la société

As cities burn, as mother’s cry,

we shall rise,

the world deserves justice

And peace will be delivered

There’s humans everywhere,

But there is no humanity.

My heart goes to you, my love

Please be strong, Please endure

Il ya l'homme partout dans le monde ,
Mais il n'y a pas d'humanité .
Mon coeur va à vous, mon amour
S'il vous plaît être fort, s'il vous plaît supporter

As cities burn, as mother’s cry,

we shall rise,

the world deserves justice

And peace will be delivered

We will stand together as one.

Not just us, but all of us,

We’ve all faced the fire,

It’s time to be forceful

Nous resterons ensemble comme une seule .
Pas seulement nous, mais nous tous ,
Nous avons tous été confrontés au feu,
Il est temps d'être énergique

Mon amour , être en paix

Vous avez vu trop de
Vous avez saigné assez
Où est la société

A Mother's Love

I walk in my home,
Just saw my horse,
Exhausting day working the play,
My mother greets me with love.

The love I'm greeted with is not just a hug,
its also the smells in the air,
Potato Leek Soup,
My favorite.  

The aroma of soy sauce and cream,
Pepper and Leeks
And of course Potatoes,
Dance through the air.

As the soup simmers,
I hear the mixer,
Beating a batter,
As bananas join the mix.

My two favorite foods,
Banana bread,
Potato Leek soup,
All I needed now was apple cider.

My mother is very loving,
she shows it in many ways,
her cooking is just one of the few,
I wish I could show her too,
Just how thankful I am,
And that I love her too.

Thoughts on Real Life

I found Dan in Real Life to be frustrated and stressful.  I hate when relationships are split up especially from the inside.  I feel like Maria or whatever her name was, should have kept driving and not called Dan.  I feel like her calling Dan was selfish and hurtful to Mitch.  Now, Imagine how much tension those family reunions are gonna have...
