Thank you for visiting my blog today! I enjoyed reading some of your posts and getting to know you a little through your profile. I have been married for almost as long as you have, 27 years. Our first son is on the brink of leaving the nest, but my youngest is 13 (with one in the middle in college), so I am looking forward to having one with me for a few years longer. It goes by so fast!

Yes, feel free to copy the poems you mentioned.

I loved several of these quotes!
