From Our House to Yours
2022

The year in rhyme I’m doing again
When will this writing ever end

But it’s like a memoir of the year

If you don’t care about it just skip to here


Six weeks in Florida via Auto Train

A week at home and we left town again


Hawaiian cruise was lots of fun

Covid greeted us when we were done


Time at home during the summer

Pickleball, concerts, never a bummer


River cruise, Paris to Prague

A little rain but never fog


A visit to Chatham is always a treat

Beautiful weather and lots to eat


Williamsburg and Hilton Head ended our run

Our travels for the year were just about done


Girls trip to Chicago for Laura, Greta and me

Grandson there in college we went to see


And it would be remiss of me if I didn’t roar

Great grandchild count is now at four


This is the latest I’ve written this rhyme

And since I am quickly running out of time


Let me steal the ending of 2008

Which is also appropriate for this date


"May your health be outstanding and your family’s too

May you share time together the entire year through


May your joys be many and your sorrows few

These are the wishes we send to you


And one more thing that would make us whoop

Is if our portfolios would quickly recoup"


Happy Holidays

Note:  1/30/23 - I never sent this to anyone other than my immediate family this year.  Just didn't feel up to it since I wasn't feeling good.
