Jeremy & Chrystalle Engaged! (a limerick)

Our first-born son is engaged!
His search for "the one" is now caged
He wanted a wife                              
who would light up his life
She does that - in real, and on stage 
  

Chrystalle's a true Irish girl
with green eyes, and red locks that curl
She'll tell you things straight
she'll be a strong mate
In Jeremy's eyes, she a pearl


They're artists at heart, these two
whose jobs are just what they do
He handles the pills
She handles the bills
Performing is their preferred view
  

She acts and sings, and can dance
He sings with much the same stance
They're using their gifts,
they don't jump from cliffs        
For bands, their favorite is Pants
 

Baseball's their game, they're big fans
They catch every play that they can
The Sox and the Nats,
(they'd carry their bats)
Her gave her the ring in the stands 
   
Happy tears.   :-) 
Her “yes” was instant – no stall
It was fun receiving that call
We’re happy for you!
You’ll soon say “I do” –  and
we’ll have our own Chrystalle Ball    :-) 

                                          
                                           The end.

       Much love to you both!   See you tomorrow!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BETTY! (a limerick)

There’s a sweet woman named Betty Ball
She really is not very tall
               

She loves to eat bread,
stores her specs on her head
She turns 39 every Fall 



Betty likes to play Bridge
If she cheats, it’s only a smidge
She has lots of rings,
and a flower that sings
There are magnets all over her ‘fridge

Betty is full of grace,
welcomes all into her place
Keep your words sweet,
(or else be discreet)
or you’re likely to hear “Shut your face!”


Betty knows all about pills
She has something for all of your ills
Take “C” for this,
Take “E” for that,
and put on a sweater for chills


Her grand kids, she’s always kissed
When away, they are surely missed
They live everywhere, 
but she won’t despair
All their heads hang on her wrist



Betty is so young at heart
Her heart is her very best part
She’s kind as can be
You meet her – you’ll see
You’ll love her, right from the start.

Betty on my wedding day
   
The End.
 
Happy Day to my favorite mother-in-law, who is a second mom to me.  :-)  I love you!
