An interstate shopping trip to Oklahoma and breakfast at the Cracker Barrell started the day off right. We went to Attwood's Farm and Ranch Store and shopped until the trunk of the car and the back seat were filled. We turned around and came home only when we ran out of space.

April is Poetry Month in the United States. Write a poem, read one or at the very least give a book of verse to someone you adore. There is a movement afoot to promote a "Poem in Your Pocket" event on April 30th. What poem will you tuck away in your pocket to share with someone that day?

Jonathan Robbin wrote this acrostic for me tonight. What fun. Some of the statements are pretty close to the truth.

S trong will behind her surface charm
U nderstands the need for space,
S eeks more than just a smiling face,
A utonomy, ambition arm
N ature's gifts. Apparent calm
D oubts masks as superficial grace
O utfoxes those who would embrace.
N o patience here for praising psalm
A s strong defenses open palm
H ide most adroitly. She would trace
U nspoken motives, trump the ace
E ach hand advances, fearing harm.

S harp observer seeks behind
D umb pre-defined with open mind.
