Before a Trip

Before a trip, of course you pack And shop for needed things you lack; Then just so there will be no flack, You straighten up your home. You give your plants an extra snack And raise the windows just a crack; Then leave a bag to hold the stack Of papers while you roam. Do all of this while keeping track So you don’t have a stress attack And maybe, if you have the knack, Describe it in a poem.

Yes, these are all things we do before traveling. I don't know why it's so important, but the house has to be very clean, the plants watered, and plans made for every aspect of the trip. (I have a checklist. LOL How anal is that?) Hugs, Carolyn

You certainly have a wonderful way of describing something as run of the mill as packing for a trip and you make it so exciting! Do have a wonderful time and I am sure we will be rewarded of more of your witty words when you have time to write:-) Bon Voyage! hugs Jan xx

And you did just that and did so wonderfully. :) I hate packing for a trip but I don't mind all of that other stuff. Really nicely done Ilene.
