While listening to the fine tones of Bill's guitar
I'm sitting here writing at Marge's pc bar
She came by car this morning to fetch me
Because they had no bus running from Sanford you see
So we hugged quite loud and there was this man
Asking eagerly if hugs were for sale and when
We just ignored him like good ladies do you know
And laughing and hugging out us happy ladies go
Then we came upon a little problem here
I told Marge: my suitcase will be too heavy my dear
Marge just rushed back in and was yelling loud
Sir, when you help us we would be very proud
To hug you dearly as you requested back there
The man ran outside fast and he took care

We had a lovely, lovely day here in Deland
I'll tell you all about it, sitting on Tampa's sand
Because we have to leave in a minute or two
Just wanted to say to all Poets: " I love you"

Like scattered leaves...my words will flow

Friends~
That suitcase weighed more than I do !
Of course the hug-price was cheap enough to get the job done~

We ALL had a delightful day ...
Krissy did a wonderful job of 'first time driving in USA' .. even though the girls were 1 1/2 hours late getting here ...
Titia and Bill and I had a marvelous time waiting for them to get here~

I can't tell you how much fun we had~
It was soooooooooooooo much fun~
Can't wait to get to Tampa ...

Bill and I will go over on Thursday ...
and believe me ... I had enough *hugs* today to last me (and my Chiroprator) a lifetime~

Lyra ... we are really looking forward to having you and David there~

Bye for tonight~
They slap-dab wore me out~
But it's a much-needed delightful 'wear out'~

Oh boy ... is there ever LOTS of poetic fodder in this day~
Love n' hugs~

Titia  wat een droomreis kind
Ik ben zo blij voor je.
Ik heb op mijn manier een poem gemaakt
Will je het corrigeren en op de piptalk zetten? Je kan de mijne er misschien naast zetten, kunnen ze eens lachen.

I was busy so did not see
this bit of fun in poetry
and that man who got the hug?
Perhaps you also left him
the poetry bug?

I wish I could be there too, in stead of having my knee surgery Boo hoo Sounds like a lot more fun than crawling around on crutches.

I'll bet you'll have a great day though.

Say hi to them for me and hug them all.
