Crazy Gracie
You get that look
When anyone tries to brush you
Like it's an invitation
To play
To wiggle
To BE a silly girl
One you ALWAYS
Accept
Laughing

You always say YES!!!
To playing
To an adventure
To new people
And especially
To JOYfulness.

Mamacita
Sister Mary Gracie Mae
Babooshka
Spelling doesn't count
I just laugh
Out loud
All by myself
When I see this photo of you
That Christmas afternoon
When the parking lot
BEcame a lake
The perfect gift
Just
For
YOU!!!

Happy Gracie~Day

You are often thoughty like here
When you were such a little YOU
And while I DO wonder sometimes
WHAT it is that you're thinking about
Mostly I just enJOY YOU
And realise my extraordinary good fortune
To have YOU in my Life...

For anyone just SEEing this
BEcause you really DO
Have a giggle
A laugh
And oh such a sweet sweet smile.

Without a lot of bother or deliberation
Everyone starts at wonderful

You loved that bear
I'm sorry we left it BEhind
But you know,
You've BEfriended other bears
A groundhog
A lizard 
and 
More people
Than we EVER could have imagined.
You are a good friend.
[which I should know since you are my very best one]

You can BE
Oh SO Serimous
Sometimes
And then
In a blink
You are silly again
Like a faucet
Love that about you
Love YOU about that!

I remember 
When...
There was enough room
In here
For you to "filet-of-Grace"
And have room
For the full sweep of your tail...

This photo
Moreso since I fiddled with it
Shows one of your faces
Rarely seen
You WERE happy though
Just BEing a dog
Off your leash
On the double soccer field
Back in Arizonie...

One you reserve for
Very Special

And this one
Was for Hansi
Who came over to play
That day
And boy did you enJOY him!!!

This is a view of you I miss
You on your way
To your ocean
To run
To play
&
If my imagination has it right
To sing with every wave.

Braveheart
This is what I called you
When your face was covered
In the delicious muddy
Of  Dry Creek's
Un-dryness.

This look
This intensity
And in it 
Your sweet heart

It is fun
Playing with your photos

To fiddle with them
To show YOU
And your days
In curious deLightedness...

Back when you were small
BEfore I knew who you would BEcome
I saw your serious side
Your strange protective instinct
The way you watched out
Listened
And sensed things.
Yes, it and YOU made me laugh
Often
And the other thing is...
You made me feel safe
Loved
Cherished...

You were so brave this day
Finding your Courage
GUTS, really
To climb the rocks
Even if it was only in the backyard
On our little red rock waterfall...
