Dear Friends

 .

Dear Friends;

or, hit the highway, please 

.

I'm writing you today

because another year is here

that I won't be there,

to visit with you 

.

It's been a while,

your crops are in,

why don't you take a break

and come see us? 

.

We can do Houston in, like 

take a ride up the Ship Channel

on the Fire Inspection Boat. 

.

We can visit a museum or two,

Houston has over twenty-five
Restaurants a plenty too, eat ourselves silly

.

Or we can play a round or two of golf. 

Again Houston has a plethora of these,

so very many of the 1041 courses in Texas. 

.

And we can keep you busy

with other things, exotic shopping, picnics,

or go to the beach, to a park or two of the many,

and so on and so on.  

.

But most of all I'd like to see you all, here. 

We are getting old, our bones are tired.

Driving isn't as much fun as it used to be,  

.

and to be really honest,

it's your turn to come down to our place

..

Today I'm linked with 'Herotomost' at the Real Toads, Lost Art (link)  

He thinks that letter writing is a lost art and has asked us to write a letter to a friend, a business, or most anyone.  I chose this one, but the message is correct to all my friends who live elsewhere, "please come stay a spell. "
