Haiku d’Guest Post: A Toast
Today I hand the site over to a kind and talented gentleman, Lou. He’s the first person to Guest Post on Sarcastic Mom! His sentiments are backed up by me, 100%. I thank him for doing such a lovely job here.
Without further ado, Lou’s Post…
Cyber family
Of disparate types, we are
But still related
Shared experience
Binds us as closely as blood
We care and we share
Good times and bad times
Elation and depression
and wayward spouses
Good kids and bad kids
The new ones and the old ones
All of life we share
And so the fortune
Of one is good for us all
When fortune does smile
And fortune has smiled
On one of us who needs it
She now has a home
And so we rejoice
The apartment will be gone
Sandy has a home.

Sandy C. from Momisodes is moving into a new home this weekend. The process started today. Will continue tomorrow. And will culminate on Sunday, when the movers come for ‘the big stuff’. I propose a toast. A World Wide Toast. Sometime during this weekend, raise a glass of your favorite libation (beer, wine, water, soda pop, milk, whatever you think is appropriate and isn’t against your religion) to Sandy and her family, as they take possession of their new home. May they find fair winds forever at their back and the future give them as much as they have given us.
When you have made your toast, come here to this post and leave a comment – name your poison (tell us what you drank) and your wish for their continued good fortune.







Sarcastic Mom, aka Lotus
I’m toasting Sandy tonight with Lemon Cream Cake!
Woohoo!
We love you Sandy, and wish you the very best on your new start in your wonderful new home!

I’m toasting to her right now with a cup of coffee, as it’s still early in the morning! Later in the day I have plans to go out with my husband for lunch, and I’ll toast to her with a glass of Spanish Cava, most probably, and tonight before going to bed I’ll be thinking of her over a glass of red wine? Three is for luck, and I wish her all of the luck in the world!
I love her very much, she was one of the first visiting me on Nablo!
How sweet of you to do a post on her!

Here’s to Sandy and her new home. May her family always find comfort in her kitchen, relaxation in her living room, and rest in her bedroom.

I am toasting to Miss Sandy right now with my first gin on the rocks of the day with three limes (you didn’t think I naturally acted this drunk all the time, did you?). Yeah, Sandy, I hope to follow in your family moving footsteps in a few months. xoxo, Dre

This morning I am toasting with a cup of coffee. This evening and tomorrow evening and Sunday evening (because she’s moving in over three days) I will toast with a single shot of Ron Zacapa Centenario. Because that’s the best that I have. And Sandy deserves the very best.

Water. Always water…other wise I really dehydrate! :-S
My wish for you Sandy—no leaky roof, no horrible upstairs neighbors, nothing falling in on your head. I hope this place is absolute bliss for you for a few years. It’s got to be really nice to have a place of your own…
And maybe we’ll follow in your footsteps one way or another soon, too!
Happy moving!

I raised my apple juice yesterday… tomorrow I’m thinking it will be orange juice. Or grape?
Maybe it better be coffee since I’m up SO late.
Hope that the moving is going swiftly for you, Sandy!

Toasting with morning coffee. may there be many hands to help with your move, and little interference from the well-meaning. And may someone bring pizza and beer at the end!

It’s Sunday and the movers are coming today. The ‘big stuff’ gets moved today. And, I gues, so do you. Tomorrow will be the first day you wake up in your new home. There will be a moment where you will wonder at the strange surroundings. And then you will realize where you are. And THAT will be a precious moment to remember always.
Prost.
