Up, Up And Away...

De-worming the pool is great fun.
After a rainstorm, worms line the pool bottom.
I netted forty-five worms last week.
You can tell my mornings start off with a blast…
It’s a peculiar thing why worms are on the death march.
Don’t they have any sense?
I’ve got to get a life…

Lately, I’ve been going through pictures.
I’ve been thinking about Jen and the great fun
we had on our two Bahamas cruises a few years ago.
The first time I checked out our bathroom,
I wondered how do you flush this thing?
Not only that, but how do you move around in this cabin?

We shared Corona buckets on deck, and
compared notes on our tans.
We frolicked like school girls on the beach,
swinging in beach hammocks.
I haven’t seen Jen for a couple of weeks,
since she’s moved to Key West.

Jen’s been having a grand time.
Her ship has finally arrived.
At least, I sure hope so.
Paul misses Jenny.
They are great friends as well as siblings.
They were fishing pals, too.

We’re expecting tons of rain this week.
I’ve got the worm bucket ready…

Over The Rainbow...

I've always loved having my family around.

We're scattered about the country.

My brother, Michael , a niece, Julie and nephew, Brad, live in Arizona .

Two nieces, Laura and Kirsten live in Oregon.

I try to keep in touch with them more often.

My son, Paul is living with us now and Jen has recently become a Key Wester.

When Jen told me she was moving from her condo, my heart sank.

She and I are close and we really enjoy doing things together.

I trust Jen with her judgment and hope her new path

will be happier.

As much as everyone means and has meant so much to me,

their lives are important.

It's not easy to know which direction to take, but one has to

trust one's feelings and believe in God's plan for us.
