This Is A Post for You, Far Away
This post is for my brother "Joe Hardy", who checks my blog faithfully every day, and I haven't written anything for six weeks. I love you!
I spent all day yesterday with my grandma. I stopped and bought her a pecan roll (which she LOVES) on the way to her house. We hung out and watched TV and talked, and ate lunch and cookies and chocolates she had bought early for Valentine's Day, and talked about a trip I might take to the Southwest this spring, and looked up visitor websites on the internet, and watched Forensic Files (we always watch sports or crime shows--one of our favorites is Cops) and just generally had a good time.
I needed it. Not only have I not been able to spend quality time with her for a long time, but it's been a rough week with my work. This time of year is always difficult, and I've been waiting for the shoe to drop. Drop this week it did with a vengeance. (As I told Joe, "These people are STRAIGHT TRIPPIN'!")
Not that I'm surprised. But it wears one down. For this reason, I am going to take a lovely Sunday Afternoon Nap.
"This is a song for you
Far away
So far away
This is a song for you
Far away from me."

Hey! Thanks for blogging! I didn't know I could leave a comment since I don't have a blog on here...but here you go. What is that last part, about a song for you far away? Is that from something? It reminds me of something you might read in oh, say, *Anne's House of Dreams* or something like that. Thought I'd let you know I DO stop by. ~wink~ Love you!
Joe
It's a James Taylor song called "Song For You Far Away". Here are the lyrics from his website:

(It DOES sound like Anne's House of Dreams! The tune is kind of wistful, too.)
Love you, Joe!
