Dad Is The Best Truck Driver by Suzae Chevalier

 

Dad

Dad’s full name Charles but you can call him Chuck
he was happiest when he was driving his Truck.
Peterbilt he says is the best-he won a “Safe Driver Award” for he was above the rest.
“Best Driver Of The Year” he was named, he had his award framed.
I will always remember the smell of gas
I love the smell, it would remind me of time gone past.
A memory in time of my childhood days
I sat in Dad’s Peterbilt at Dad’s Dahlen’s truck place
Dad started the engine and honked the horn it was very loud I did learn to scorn.
Respect “Truck Drivers” for they bring food and gas home they risk their life in a storm.
Dad would go on layovers, a 3 state run through these states he had a lot of fun.
He was an efficient driver he did always state, never falling asleep even when driving late.
He talked on the phone to all of his trucker friends
they had all kinds of stories that never did end.
I remember him coming home late one night—He looked tired but had a bite.
A very efficient driver he did always state he never fell asleep when he drove real late.
He talked on the phone to all of his trucker friends, trucker stories that never did end.
I remember him coming home late one night—he looked tired but had a bite.
4 hours of sleep he said he always had, he worked in the wee hrs. he was a brave Dad.
Thanks Dad for you are very dear, cherished childhood memories that bring a tear.

Stylish Debra Ann by Suzae Chevalier

SuzaeHustler

Debra Ann with her stylish green hat
knows how to dress, I can tell you that.
Debra Ann is a real friend that understands
she is the Big Sis I never had-she is sweet I am glad
glad we met that one sunny day
at Mother Earth’s Coffee shop
back by the tables with owner Patte’.
Debra was a friend that made sure I was feed
she bought me groceries and didn’t care how much she spent.
We have fun dancing at the Cottage Sunday nights
we dance up a storm dancing to the beat just right.
She makes me smile just seeing her
she calls me Sunshine and I brighten her world.
You make me smile also Debra Ann–
remember Bible Study where we laughed and laughed?
We ate pizza, and had a blast!
One day we will sale my coloring books at the fair
it will be a fun memory to share.
Thanks Anna for being a Big Sis and a friend
You bring you sunshine again and again!

Sarah smiling with toy bunny.

BestSarahLetter

Sarah’s invite back for birthday party

Sarah would be Birthday princess for a day
she would have her “Special Island Birthday”
even her stuff toys would join in on the fun-
a birthday party celebration had just begun.
Jewels galore would be on her dress
she would blow out the cake
that never made a mess.
For it was a cake that had an electrical switch
Sarah would light up her birthday candle by
going click, click, click.
Now I have photos of her Princess Days…
Sarah all happy when at a very young age.
May the memories of be a place in Sarah’s heart—
childhood memories not far apart…
They are a part of the childhood days gone past
they are happy memories that are sure to last.

Donna The Creative Artist by Suzae Chevalier

Certain objects are cursed by God. God is the same yesterday, today and tomorrow.

Donna with her very keen eye

gives me advice on my book illustration design.

She has given me great advice

its nice to have another idea modified.

She is an visual artist herself as well

she even gave makeup advice for a show.

She was there to support me you know.

Thank you Donna for all your generosity

and your help at the Birthday book reading!

Great Friend Augustine by Suzae Chevalier

 

Augustine who is from a state far away
came to live in Minnesota one day.
City of Bemidji he did stay when young–
I never met him there for he was already gone.
He moved to New Jersey where I am from–
I would meet him in the state with a lot of sun.
I would meet him in the sunshine state-
He has a friendly smile and good taste.
Augustine knows Spanish and he can play the guitar
he lived in South America which is quite far.
He taught English to the military there
he was a great teacher, even though students
fell asleep sitting in their chairs.
Augustine bought me a great Twianese brunch
which tasted great for a lunch.
Augustine is a great friend
he bought me some groceries when my job did end.
Augustine is a great chef
he is Italian so he knows Italian dinners the best.
Can’t wait to taste his Italian cuisine
more fun times with Augustine.

Maria And Victoria Play Date by Suzae Chevalier

Maria_Victoria__Play_Date

Victoria and Maria play date with me.

Excited to see me they waited anxiously by door

within minutes a make believe land was on the floor.

Maria hid bad toy right away, hiding her for the rest of the day.

Then of course Victoria would play

pretend games I do say.

Years later I would give a party for real

it would be Victoria’s birthday party in the Wisconsin hills.

I took photos to remember this time

A birthday celebration for Victoria

With sister Maria and friends that helped find

children had to find the treasures

Say “Happy Birthday to Victoria”

while she sat in birthday chair at last

I took photos to remember this time

A birthday celebration for Victoria

With sister Maria and friends that helped find

hidden crown that is divine.

Good things must come to an end

I packed up my props and said goodbye to dear friends.

Steve Brouse acrylic painting

Steve Brouse is an artist

who paints murals real grand–

He paints of a bright colorful fantasy land.

Characters painted with bright colors of red and yellow

cute childlike shapes very calming, very mellow.

I first met Steve in Delray—

he was showing his paintings on display.

Steve’s painting stood out from the rest

with all his bright colors he was the best.

Steve even paints on wooden frames

tennis shoes, and teaches art in schools.

Steve came to visit me in Boynton Beach

.Also at the Lake Worth Street Painting Festival on the street

Steve made sure I had food and cold water to drink.

I visited Steve again at his new art studio—

it was this weekend—it was fun to go!

Thank you Steve for letting me paint

I hope your mural turns out exceptionally great!

You can see Steve’s artwork on “The House of Brouse”

that is his website, so check it out–

You’ll be happy you did without a doubt.

Find him also on facebook.com too

Steve posts his paintings along

with his colorful character shoes.

My Niece Allisa by Suzae Chevalier

Baby Allisa would grow up to be
a mother of Mya who is now 3.
I will always have found memories
of Allisa who is very outgoing yet very sweet.
Allisa came with me as an helper to my book readings.
She helped set up the props for my set–
She even was enthusiastic and didn’t fret.
She was even a princess in my video shoot
it was fun, it was a hoot!
I have Halloween photos of the party at the mansion on Lyndale,
when Allisa and her friends had fun till to the upscale.
Yes, Allisa takes great photos and even video’s too
we shot a funny video at a middle school.
Yes, by then Allisa was taller than me
yes, she had grown into a preteen.
I just saw Allisa and her daughter Mya just last year
I gave little Mya an toy owl, she was in good cheer.
Thanks Allisa for all the found memories–
they will remembered by me!
