I took a plane a year ago
this very, very day
To Boston and Cape Cod I went,
rather a trip I'd say

Still have nightmare's from Nan's car,
wich kept me out or locked me in
So much fun I had with Marti
A laughing contest she sure will win

And Liz that nice sweet Queen of Poets
embraced us with her heart so warm
Took us to Denise in Philly
Down came Ruth with all her charm

Then I took the train down South
An adventure worth repeating
'Hiding' myself for a few days
Before the Poet Tampa meeting

I visited Marge and Bill in Deland
Marsha, Krissy, Maureen came too
Along with our Australian Kethry
Lovely friends, I still miss you

Driving by car to New Port Richie
Was an experience I never forget
Used to left side driving Krissy
Didn't make me even sweat

Down came Pilgrimage from Texas
Clever girl with humour and wit
And I got to meet sweet Balladeer
Made us laugh out loud he did

Seymour and our lovely Marge
The partners Franni, Isabel and Bill
David brought his Chipmunk Lyra
She'll always roam my mind, she will

Had a great time there in Tampa
I am homesick, yes I am
Is it not for all my friends
It sure is for our Balladeer's spam

And then,
with a click
of ruby red slippers
and a bit of dust,
you were home.

I enjoyed the memory, Titia.  Thank you!

I felt like I was with you toooooo... OH... I WAS with you too...

It was a very special time, Titia - and you graced our country's eastern seaboard like never before... (still recalling your undaunted plan to "just go fishing")... We surely did have fun.  When are you coming back, m'friend??...

DarlingGirl~
You cause me to smile with such tender remember~

It WAS a HAPPENING ... that needs to happen again~  When ? ... just say when !!

AND ... rumor has it that a fella in the lobby of a hotel in Sanford remembers us too~

You are always just a heart-thought away from me, my friend~
I love you~

the spirit rejoices over what it has left.

I'm planning on next year, if the Gods are willing LOL Nan, I still have that address that old man gave me in the train to Philly:supersmile: He DID say he's living next to a river and has his own boat!

Nah, better just go on one of them boats along the seashore as I did last year. Enjoyed myself tremendously.

And Marge, I bet that man in Sanford never washed his cheeks again LOL
