Calling All Chapman Family Artists

It has been four years since my mom passed away and that I found the following poem in her souvenir and paperwork. Still no artistic niece or nephew has come forward with a title or illustration for Mom’s cute poem. Let’s try again:

A poem by Virginia Darline Ridge Chapman (1925-2015)

(No Title)

Mama and Papa Turtle were sitting on a log.

They were enjoying the sunshine when up jumped a Frog.

The Frog croaked, "Move over and give me some sun!"

"No," said Papa Turtle, "that wouldn't be much fun."

"We've saved this place for a friend or two-

"We didn't save this place just for you!"

The Frog was unhappy so he took a big leap.

He jumped so high and landed so deep.

He landed upon a big lily pad.

He looked around and was so very sad.

The Turtles looked over and saw him sitting there.

They felt very sorry that they didn't share

Their log with a frog in the bog.

"Come back over," Papa Turtle invited.

"Okay, I will," the Frog said all excited.

They became good friends and enjoyed the sun.

And then it was fun for everyone.

Love Letter 40 Years Ago

Love Letter 40 Years Ago (Click this😬)

Forty years ago I moved to The Netherlands to be with my love. I left behind my parents, brothers and their loved ones, all of my friends, and most of my personal belongings. Back then I wrote love letters to my parents and family.

In 2014 I found those letters at my mother’s home where she had kept them for 35 years. I shared a few of those letters here on my Wetcreek Blog, and I would like to do a repeat of a few of them for any new blog followers.

Click on the above mentioned Love Letter and see what I was doing back then.
