Keep Grinning
Day 14
Galveston/Mesa Trip
We keep playing
cards,
Score sheets
by the yards,
And my
daughter keeps winning.
Canasta—great
game.
Only few I
claim.
Even so, I
keep grinning.

Day 13 Galveston/Mesa trip
Like a plucked
chicken
Will his
hair thicken?
My smart son
cut his own hair
With holes
in his shirt
He dared go
to work
I wish that
he’d show more care
Day 12 Galveston/Mesa Trip
Halfway
Point
Just out the
front door
Two blocks
and no more
The ocean
waited each day
‘Neath the
umbrella
Peaceful I
tell ya
Yes, we
would have liked to stay
Now back
with my three
My own
family
In Arizona a
while
We’ll eat
and we’ll play
Maybe work
each day
Then go back
home with a smile
Day 11 Galveston/Mesa Trip
It’s been a
long day
There’s not
much to say
Flew out of
Houston at noon
Eli came, no
doubt
And then we
ate out
Texas trip
over too soon
Galveston, good bye
Houston with
a sigh
We had a
nice Uber ride
So where do
we eat?
Won’t admit
defeat
So Dominoes
with a side
Day 9 Galveston/Mesa Trip
What a crazy
spring!
We’re
vacationing,
Sis and I,
in Galveston.
At home,
there is snow.
Now, Sis
broke her toe.
Oh well,
we’re still having fun.
Day 8
Octopuses,
rays
Sea
creatures amaze
Balmy
rainforest go through
Yes, it
sounds absurd
Hit by large
blue bird
Moody
Gardens, lots to do
