Italy Trip 2024

 Italy Trip Day 33

 

I’m barely moving with the flu,

A runny nose and itchy throat.

Since I’ve been here, have lots to do.

But to do nothing gets my vote.

 

Played Canasta with my daughter.

She is playful like an otter.

I gave them all their souvenirs.

And they got many through the years.

Italy Trip 2024, Poetic Bloomings danger

 Italy Trip Day 32

 

We walked and talked in Youngstown park.

We said goodbyes to oldest Sis.

Time spent with sisters was a lark.

All five of us were up for this.

 

And then to Mesa, a long flight.

Arrived there well into the night.

 And rushed to hubby’s open arms.

Glad I was kept from all that harms.

Italy Trip 2024, poetic asides tele blank

Italy Trip Day 31

 

It would be nice to teleport,

With no more cars, trains, or airplanes.

To travel would be such a sport.

No weaving in and out of lanes.

 

By travel we would get our kicks.

Tomorrow, I’d beam to Phoenix.

Teleport, or by car and plane,

The joy of seeing hubby—same!

Italy Trip 2024

 

Italy Trip Day 30

 

In Youngstown, but visit P-A.

To see the place where we were raised.

Some memories stirred up today.

Country living and kin be praised.

 

Walked the land where our house once was.

Then ‘cross the road to see our cuz.

Two cousins and old neighbor friend.

Too soon, our visit had an end.

Italy Trip 2024

 Day 29 Italy Trip

 

Lost souvenirs, but they’re returned.

What a relief, a guard found them.

Candy bar’s gone, but it was earned.  

With all going on around them.

 

In Ohio, five together,

Thankful for this and fine weather.

Saw the new baby, what a doll.

Yay for family, one and all!

Day 28 Italy Trip

 

The day came as we knew it would.

An airport staff man sang goodbye.

I watched three movies since I could.  

So much stress but, I like to fly.

 

Happy day seeing little sis!

And my nephew at the hotel.

I’m glad for travel such as this.

Safe in PA and all is well.

Italy Trip 2024

 

Day 27 Italy Trip

 

Italian driving is crazy,

At least it’s so where we have been.

Especially lovely Capri

On roads that are high, rough, and thin.

 

The island’s a beautiful jewel.

To experience it is cool.

Blue grotto is fun in row boats.

A sunny day, no need for coats.
