WELCOME HOME NOAH

i did not realize how much i would miss my boy

14 days is an awfully looooonnnggg time

hearing his voice

texting him

became the highlight of my day

i wanted his HOMECOMING

to be something special

so i painted a bright sign

 taped it to the door

 ordered bold colored balloons

 a few little surprises on his bed

 and waited

 and waited some more

 at almost the stroke of midnight

my SUPERHEROES return
all of them
safe, happy, giddy
as the adventure was retold
WELCOME HOME NOAH

TO THE RESCUE

well, my eighty plus piles of laundry

are not melting

(some of them shrinking, and not according to plan)

the drier is in-op

and so i have clothes hanging to dry throughout the home

not a whole lot of fun for noah

who would like to have friends come play

and not be exposed to the family's underclothing

oh my heavy heart...

i've heard it said

that SUPERHEROES

are able to leap tall buildings in a single bound
(mmm...i wonder if that includes mountains of laundry)
according to sesame street,
able to reach
 capital "T"...
is it a bird?
is it a plane?
 out of the bright, blue sky

appeared
superman and wonderwoman 
TO THE RESCUE

could it be?
was it true?
noah's grandparents
 had come with a special invitation
for our SUPERBOY

to join them in an adventure of a lifetime
the destination
a trip to see his SUPERCOUSINS
in arizona
at the camelback resort
the answer
a resounding yes

he will be packed and ready for the mission of fun
to be continued in the next post...
