Our week with the Bakers in haiku




Here on Goose Island
Big Tree, one thousand years old,
Mosquitos attack!





Goodbye, ninety-eight
Hello, two-oh-three, she said
Who gets to drive you?


Water brings calm, peace,
Ripples of silent hope
Rest for a worn soul


Beautiful women
Big smiles and a daddy's joy:
She's looking at me


Grandparent-loving
Open hearts, giving so much
And ice cream abounds


Look at that stinker!
Which one? you shyly inquire
I don't know, either.


Grace on a front porch
Mercy, gift, overwhelming
God's kindest humor


At Los Comales
We eat at other places
Could not tell you why.
