Come on and get here, Spring Break!

Our family is eager for a change of routine and pace. That will be our gift in about a week. We'll be doing one of those 'vacation-at-home' spring break weeks. Visiting the children's musuem, zoo, swimming in a local indoor pool, and anything else fun we can find!

Making our plans and arrangements reminded me of a vacation poem I wrote years ago. It is entitled- On Holiday.


Exceptional vacations always claim to be what they are not,
like cramped cars, busy airports and lumpy luggage to be fought


Or rain on the beach, sun on the slopes, flooding in the campground;
Don’t drop his retainer, sweater or the keys in lost-n-found


Plus never ever ask for directions or make a pit stop
because we don’t pause to rest or catch our breath, only chop chop!


The last and best memory of vacation, you inquire?
Why its quality time, togetherness with my heart’s desire!
