		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;Wow, your guest room is really bizarre,&#8221;
Said our friends, who had come from afar.
Just a tarp on the grass,
For this lad and this lass,
But they saw every bright falling star.
In the Pacific Northwest in summer, you can throw a sleeping bag on the grass and sleep outside. It&#8217;s heavenly during the Perseid meteor shower, when [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We went into that boating store, &#8220;West,&#8221;
For a brand new flag halyard, the best.
We replaced it &#8212; OK!
But the very same day
&#8216;Twas the main halyard broke: Who&#8217;d have guessed?
&#8220;I&#8217;m so glad it&#8217;s your problem, not mine,&#8221;
Said our Freedom friends, sipping their wine.
But those friends don&#8217;t know Lee,
Who, with Simplicity,
Kindly fixed it &#8212; we sailed back, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Here in sunny Nebraska, this morn
There&#8217;s a steer who is feeling forlorn,
He looks up and says, &#8220;Moo!&#8221;
Which means, &#8220;Hi, how are you?
I like grass, pleeeeeease don&#8217;t make me eat corn.&#8221;
Driving through CAFO country is enough to turn anyone vegetarian&#8230;

		<description><![CDATA[When the skies opened forth with such power,
I was drowned like a rat. So I glower
At my husband, who&#8217;s dry,
And who says, smug and sly,
&#8220;I towel off when I go take a shower.&#8221;
It rained so hard the other day, I nearly drowned getting back to Flutterby &#8212; even with a fortuitous ride across the boatyard [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When I painted the name on the side,
Philip&#8217;s comments were terribly snide.
&#8220;All your curves are a fright!&#8221;
&#8220;Get a stick, do it right!&#8221;
Now I&#8217;m feeling all shame and no pride.
We could have had the name applied professionally in vinyl for a few hundred bucks. The only reason I painted it freehand was to fulfill a sense [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[
We found in our mailbox a letter&#8211;
Inside, a surprise! Even better!
A tiny flat boy,
To bring us much joy.
&#8216;Twas Stanley, the Airmail Jet-Setter.
Stay tuned for more photos and stories of Stanley&#8217;s visit to Beaufort and environs. He was an excellent boat guest.

These two strangers, on Hemingway&#8217;s dock,
Had a chat, and it caused them a shock.

The best meatloaves arrived on a mission,
