Wish you were here

ding ding ding! Lucy Adams gave the correct definition of the origin of "blog!" She wins a shout out!

Blogs started out similar to facebook. People posting families pictures, recipes, feelings, etc, like a diary to share with the world! Hence they were dubbed Web Logs -> weblog -> blog. We must abbreviate! And that opens another can of something I will save for another time!

Now, come away with me in a postcard for Sensational Haiku Wednesday!

Picture perfect place
Is any destination
Memories are made




Relax, enjoy, breathe
Worries wash away with tide
Take it to the beach




Having a great time
No responsibilities
Mind on vacation

    Air conditioning
    Stale and cold, freezing bare toes
    I yearn for that beach

    I tried to find you on FB, but there are so many people with your name! Perhaps you can link up with me, Christine Rains. My profile pic will have my son in a hat and red shirt laughing.

    Two great Haiku.
    My favourite was the second - I often feel that my mind is on a permanent vacation and never around when I need it.
