WHAT DO WE SAY?
We heard from my family again,
The first since who knows when…
The kids are all fine,
Each in their line
And sister-in-law writes like a friend.
–
She and my brother have an empty nest,
Awaiting life’s further test…
She’s home with “the boys,”*
He’s in Illinois
Working on their behest.
–
Last time I heard from Nate
He had contracting in my state…
But except long weekends
His job depends
On taking opportunities on the plate.
–
So what can we write to them?
Our separate efforts have been…
Rather mis-cued
And poorly viewed,
But together we’ll manage a spin!
–Jonathan Caswell
* Nancy writes that “the boys” are two dogs and a cat, at home with her!
I say write!! I have two boys and a three legged pointy-eared daughter. That be it. I wish I had more family.

We will!! But it will be easier to coordinate! And I’m sending along a copy of my one great accomplishment….besides this blog and 24 1/2 years of Christian marriage….my one published book of Christian poetry.
