Woulda-Coulda-Shoulda

By Shel Silverstein
All the Woulda-Coulda-Shouldas
Layin' in the sun,
Talkin' 'bout the things
They woulda coulda shoulda done...
But those Woulda-Coulda-Shouldas
All ran away and hid
From one little Did.

Where the Sidewalk Ends
from the book "Where the Sidewalk Ends" (1974)

There is a place where the sidewalk ends
and before the street begins,
and there the grass grows soft and white,
and there the sun burns crimson bright,
and there the moon-bird rests from his flight
to cool in the peppermint wind.

Let us leave this place where the smoke blows black
and the dark street winds and bends.
Past the pits where the asphalt flowers grow
we shall walk with a walk that is measured and slow
and watch where the chalk-white arrows go
to the place where the sidewalk ends.

Yes we'll walk with a walk that is measured and slow,
and we'll go where the chalk-white arrows go,
for the children, they mark, and the children, they know,
the place where the sidewalk ends.

Recipe Tuesday...Girls night out Margaritas

Since I was suppose to bring margaritas to the girls night out and flaked at the last minute I am posting the recipes I was going to use. I use only the best Tequila, Patron Silver, it makes them so much more smooth.

Sangria Margarita Recipe

8 oz tequila
12 oz margarita mix
2 oz lime juice
3 oz triple sec
4 oz sangria

Pour the tequila, margarita mix, lime juice and triple sec into a blender with ice and blend. Pour the mixture into the glass until 2/3 full, add the sangria.

Chambord Raspberry Margarita Recipe

4 cups frozen raspberries
2 tablespoons lemon juice
6 oz tequila
2 oz Gran Marnier
3 oz Chambord
2 oz. lime juice
Whole, fresh raspberries, for garnish
1 cup sugar, for glasses

In a blender, combine frozen raspberries, lemon juice, tequila, Gran Marnier, Chambord and ice. Blend until smooth. Pour sugar onto a small plate. Wet the rim of margarita glasses. Dip the rim in the sugar. Pour the raspberry margaritas into the prepared glasses.


Use these for your next party as they are very delish.

Poetry Mondays...

Today to start out Poetry Mondays a classic poem by Robert Frost

The Road Not Taken


Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked it bent in the undergrowth;

Then took the other, as just as fare,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that, the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,

And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black,
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back,

I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I-
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.


Did you take the road less traveled or the well worn path?
