The Drive to Mesa
At 9:30,
were on our way.
We
drove for eight hours.
It is
a drive we often take,
With
no thunder showers.
At a
rest stop, I parked too close.
Hubby scratched
a car door.
The
man was none too delighted,
But he
didn’t ask for more.
At another
stop, a woman
Spotted
a stolen car.
We
didn’t stick around to watch.
We had
yet to go far.
We got
into Mesa at five.
Had
dinner with tofu.
Lori
and I played Canasta.
That’s
always fun to do.
One More Day
Just
one more day before we leave,
It was
a busy day.
I went
to church and wrote a poem
And
packed for my vacay.
I
watered plants and cleaned the pots
And
muffins, I did bake.
I had a
flight change for New York
On the
next trip I’ll take.
I
talked with my dear friend, Lorraine.
Her
son did pass away.
I’d
like to be around for her,
But,
now, I cannot stay
I also
called Kathie, my friend,
To say
prayers and good byes.
I took
a nap that afternoon.
I felt
that it was wise.
Before
midnight, I went to bed,
And
for some sleep, I prayed.
We’ll
get up bright and early,
And
then, be on our way.
Thank God for Friends
After
breakfast I bagged up weeds
Then
Kathie and James came
They
brought her saw and her big truck
I’m
glad that she was game
We
worked two hours on the elms
That
grew along my fence
And
now I’ll try to keep them down
This
Saturday and hence
The
rest of the day I was tired
And
snacked and watched TV
I even
took a little nap
Was
lazy as could be
And now
today marks just two days
And
then we will be on our way
Treasure
T oday
I
R each
up to You,
E xpressing
my love and
A ppreciation
for the
S ecurity
I have in You.
U ltimately,
when my mind is troubled, I
R ely
on Your grace, love and mercy
E ach
and every day. Remind me to do that more.
As the Lord Wills
Walked
in the park with Regina
With
Linda I did pray
And I
researched New York hotels
For January
Day
Three
loads of laundry, then came next
And Facebook
scrolling, too
I played
some games and read some things
Though
had a lot to do
I
packed my carryon so full
Won’t
fit another thing
I also
packed my Mesa bag
For
soon I will take wing
Just
three more days and then we’ll drive
And I
can’t wait to go
As
long as it is the Lord’s will
Yes,
this, of course, I know
2 Corinthians
3:16
Covered,
hidden, protected
In grace
Yet standing
bold, clean, seen
In the
throne room
Working On It
In the
morning, when rain had stopped,
I
walked, but not too far
Put branches
in a large trash bag
And air
in tires of car
After
lunch I wrote a trip poem
Walked
and then cut some elms
And
then booked a flight to New York
Sometimes
I’m overwhelmed
Received
a package in the mail
It should
prevent my snore
It
would be nice to ditch CPAP
I
couldn’t ask for more
Watched
Korean Romance movie
Called
Crash Landing on You
So now
I have four more days to go
There’s
still a lot to do
