Never trust a liar. Even though they will always trust themselves.

Road Trips

Getting there should
always be secondary.

Getting lost and
accidental discovery,
The goal.

Seeing you.

The very best road trips

let one find gems,

experiences remembered

the rest of life.

The unquantifiable

smell of a hidden cove,

skinny-dipped with

a best friend.

Sometimes it’s sensual,
Sometimes just cold
And sweet.

Unscheduled extra (free)
fillets-
of-catfish at a
hole-in-the-wall café.


Even the bad stuff makes

the trip worthwhile.

Weekends at an old friend's

on the beach while
the roadster’s

in the shop.

Forgotten essential items?
An opportunity for creativity,

giving necessity its
chance
 at motherhood.

It isn’t about the miles…

It's the smiles
with you.
And along the way,
The laughter,
And the new.

Love the where,

embrace the who,

forget all about when,

because road trips take time.
