Day 2 of Italy Trip
To-dos have seemed to follow me,
Housework and paperwork and such.
Forgot my meds so stupidly.
My tasks today, a little much.
Phone calls and texts, get things in line.
I trust it all will turn out fine.
Still need to pack to make things light.
Lufthansa’s limits—strict and tight.
Day 4 of Italy Trip
Goodbye to hubby and our two.
I took the Phoenix/Lincoln flight.
The first flight was so quickly through.
The second got there before night.
So glad to see Sis. I ate crepes,
Then drove to second sister’s place.
I’ll have two days with family.
Then we’ll go on to Italy.
Day 1 of Italy Trip
Before I travel very far,
I rally those who like to pray.
Today as I packed up my car,
I have some faith to go away.
I’m now in Mesa safe and sound,
With cactus, heat, and hilly ground.
Here with my daughter and my son,
We’ll spend some time and have some fun.
One More Day
Today is Tuesday, almost done
Tomorrow, is the day we leave
I doubt I’ll get up with the sun
An early start, I can’t conceive
I had a busy day today
I did help teach at nature school
Then ran errands every which way
I’ll go to bed or be a fool

E nvelop her in Your loving kindness, always
S pirit move on her as she reaches out to others.

U nderstanding. Do a good work in and through her.

A lways, let her feel Your presence and hear Your voice. May
N ew adventures and opportunities be given to her.
In Jesus’ name, Amen!
Two More Days
Today is Monday, two more days
So much to do before our trip
I’m trying not to go acraze
Nor leave some tasks undone or slip
The yard, the laundry, dishes, trash
I hope my nerves don’t yield a rash
Gas up the car, some posts and pack
Twill be a month before we’re back
Three More Days
Today is Sunday, soon we’ll go,
For Wednesday is the day we leave.
I thank God there will be no snow.
Perhaps, this journey we’ll achieve.
We plan four countries and three states.
Our journal’s marked
with many dates.
Cortez, Phoenix, Lincoln, and Rome,
And Pittsburgh, Youngstown then we’re home.
