ONE SOG w/PIP TO ANOTHER
(Silly old grandmother with pictures in purse)

You've pulled them out--the latest snaps--
And I have looked and did agree
That they are darling little chaps--
Your pride and joy of one and three.

Now, not so fast, my dear old friend--
I'm sure you will be glad to wait
To see the gems my children send--
Here, take a look at something great!

Ah, yes, you sigh; your smile is wan.
(I can't believe that I'm a bore!)
Oh, really, must you hurry on?
But here, wait up! Here's just one more!
OurEcho is a FREE SERVICE dedicated to capturing and sharing the individual "bits and pieces" that define our local communities. It might be a bit of interesting local history, an old photograph, a special memory or just a funny story. We are particularly interested in those fascinating and intriguing events/people (both large and small) that we all encounter as part of the human experience. It might be something that happened recently or something passed down to you through your family. Our goal is to provide a forum for local communities to share who they are through their stories and photographs. When you take the time to share these reflection with others, you help us better understand you, the world we live in, and if we are lucky, they help us better understand ourselves.
