Enjoy this funny, entertaining young guy from Missouri.
Katie and I laughed so hard when Caleb's dad came on the stage.
What a fun dad!

Sometimes just looking up and seeing the light is enough. ~Terri Guillemets
June
The sun is rich
And gladly pays
In golden hours,
Silver days,
And long green weeks
That never end.
School's out. The time
Is ours to spend.
The playground calls,
The ice-cream man,
And, after supper,
Kick-the-Can.
The live-long light
Is like a dream,
And freckles come
Like flies to cream.
~John Updike
How great are those words?
The live-long light is like a dream and freckles come like flies to cream.
music to my ears

I loved Caleb. He had me rolling and he has such immense talent. I felt like he had a throwback, whimsical quality. Almost Danny Kaye-esque!
ReplyDeleteLove that poem. The kick the can part caught my heart and brought me right back to the days of being 12 years old and playing with the neighbor kids until someone's mom or dad called them in for the night. Fun. Thanks for invoking the smile-worthy memory!
ReplyDeleteOh, thanks for posting that. Great entertainment! I hope he goes a long way.
ReplyDeleteI'm always waiting for your month poems and you don't disappoint.
Here's a video that Annie Downs posted on her blog under "Afternoon Distraction". I think you and Katie might like it. ;)

We love this show and we always forget to watch it. Thanks for the reminder! This kid is great!
ReplyDelete"And long green weeks that never end" is my favorite part and as a child how I thought about summer, too. Thanks for Caleb, what a performer..both dancing and comedic talent. He is a double threat. And, his dad, wow what support he has from his family. Just warms my heart. Thanks Donna! love and prayers, jep
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing the video of Caleb. Too funny. I love how he wove humor into his dance. The end where he hugged his dad...that pulled on my heartstrings a little bit.
ReplyDelete"Sometimes just looking up and seeing the light is enough." YES!!
Love to you all,

Thank you. SYTYCD clip made me laugh and smile and think a new person to cheer on. Then the light quote. I'm stealing it. We have been in a very dark place with our very hard foster son, soon to be adopted son, and these were the words I so needed to hear today. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteThat sounds very difficult Jen. I'm glad the quote could lift your spirits a little.
DeleteWishing you easier times soon, Jen.

Jen is one of the best people I know. Please pray for her and her sweet family. I have such respect for her and the choices she's made.. hang in there J. Hang.In.There. You are not alone.
Deletethank you...I can't begin to tell you...just thank you
DeleteGod bless you and strengthen you Jen. God is able to make all grace abound towards you ... so you can abound in every good thing. Amen.
DeleteI'm soooo happy SYTYCD is back on! And, this audition show was probably my most favorite of all the seasons. My husband hates watching audition shows, in general, because it makes him very uncomfortable. We were glad that this last audition show was focused more on the good dancers and less on the crazies.
ReplyDeleteYou always seem to find the just-right quotes, Donna.

Perfect poem, Donna. Anything with freckles and playgrounds says childhood to me (-: The green AND the b/w pics are so beautiful. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteCalling all QLCS prayers. My oldest Madelaine is in her last week and a half of college. She has to defend her senior thesis to three faculty members next Monday, finish other papers, take two finals, prepare to deliver a speech at graduation AND she just wrote to say that she is SICK. Could you all pray for Madelaine as she races to the finish line? THANK YOU.
Jen, you and yours will be in my prayers this afternoon.

Prayers for your girl, Di. I hope she feels better soon!!
DeleteMary Z
Ack! Madelaine! Honored to pray. Of course. Sending love and hugs to a worried Mama, too.
DeleteGod bless your girl!!!
DeleteShe can do it! I know she can!
Prayers and lots of love coming your way.
I echo Donna, she can do it! By the grace of God and with His help, for sure!
DeleteAdding my prayers Di
I've never seen SYTYCD and loved this video! I may have to add the show to my list.
ReplyDeleteThe light quote, Updike poem, pictures of light and cute Katie were all soul food today. Thanks for sharing!!
Mary Z
