For the most of you it's Saturday, in the afternoon
For me it's late at night and I'll be leaving soon
I thought about this trip and this came to my mind
We all speak the English tongue, but in a different kind
Kethry is an Aussi, she speaks the Australian way
Mushi en Krissy speak it proper wich I think they'd say
I my self am Dutch, I don't know what kind I speak
The rest is all American, another different technique
That's what I was thinking, when I was packing here
End of month we all will meet, all those poets dear
't Will not be as in Babylon, there will not be confusion
Because LOVE is universal, that is my conclusion
Even spoken in different tongue, we will understand
That we love you and you love us, till our lifes will end


WOW it's countdown time for me, tomorrow I'll leave home, sleep over at my daughter's home and Monday morning we'll take a train to Schiphol Airport in Amsterdam. At 14.15pm local time my plane will be airborne and heading for Boston.

NAN....HERE I COME...PUT SOME BEER IN THE FREEZER GIRL!!!

I'll see you lot in a couple of weeks in Tampa.


Like scattered leaves...my words will flow

How exciting, Titia! Is there an event that's bringing many together? What an idea, and you're coming from way over there. I wonder who's closer to Tampa, you or I, I mean when we're home. I'm on the northwest coast, inland a ways, say 220 miles and Tampa's on the east coast, in land less, I think. Without going to a map I'm making that conclusion.

Have a great trip!

Whether on the shoal or on the shore,
I'll seek the lighthouse evermore.

Titia,
good poem.

VAS, We are meeting in Tampa because it's there along with Disneyworld, Universal Studios and many other attractions not the least of which are some friendly faces from the American contingent of PiP's. We will be meeting at a four day convention that Marsha has organised.
Cheers
Kethry

Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind.  Unknown

The beer will be chilled
Nan will be thrilled
her nether-nether girl's cheer
will be heard all the way here!

Have a safe trip, Titia!

I think it's great when different nationalities with their own accents get together! We will have to make an audio clip of all of us saying hello to PIP individually. THAT would be interesting....and I won't hold it against any of you for talking funny!

Thank you my friends for your good wishes, be sure I'm planning to have a BLAST.

Balladeer,
You say we will be talking funny???
Like when a squirrel talks to a bunny?
Then close your ears and listen by heart
You'll hear just one tongue speak: Love is smart

Noah, just know you will be there in spirit sweet guy, because your loving spirit covers all the blue pages with tender words.

Duncan, someday I'll meet you, I'm sure, thank you for thinking I'm cool LOL gives this 'ol' lady quite a thrill.

Midnitesun, be sure I'll drink to you dear.

In a few hours I'm off, one more night's sleep and then it will be a long day before I'm sitting in Nan's kitchen, praising the Internet where it all began.
