Vacation Highlights

Up until this morning, my blog had gone 7 days without an update. That is by far the longest break I have taken since I launched Carrie Mayhem. I actually intended to post while on vacation. However, the first leg of the trip was much too busy and the second leg was at the cottage, where one is more connected to the wildlife than the internet. Anyway, I’M BACK!

Here are a handful of photos from our family holiday. They’re good pics but not the best pics. The best of the best will show up in future posts…

My favorite beach

A Ludington sunset (http://fav.me/d7q7pt2)

Fireworks!

Our entry Mater (from the movie Cars) won 2nd place in a “Pimp your ATV” contest!

Please Don’t Grow Up!

I want to halt time

Remain your best friend always

Freeze your innocence

But even as you grow up

I’ll ever be your Mommy

Sabbatical

Chasing a sunset

Along a glowing pathway,

Serenity sought

Where the earth touches the sky

And fire dances on water.

We embark on a family vacation tomorrow! Even the adult kids get to join us this time. Where we’re headed, writing is easy. The words just flow. I will put some work in on the book. I may even still blog. I’ll just be doing it from the beach instead of a leather recliner. It’s not work if you love what you do. If I don’t check in before Friday, Happy 4th of July!

Wicked Nectar

Perspiration glistens on your skin.
I hold you close and take you in,
Savor your essence before we begin.
You smell of wickedness, taste like sin,
And I’m a glutton for damnation.
Lost in your nectar I start to spin.
You’ve played me like a violin,
Left me ailing once again.
You never seem to let me win.
