It was nice to have all the family back together for Sunday night dinner tonight. Andy, having just returned as a Rider on a motor-home trip with a friend, monitored the baking of the delicious home-made lasagna, squash (which I LOVE), and “salt with a little bread in it“ (i.e. the saltiest garlic bread ever made) while the other three Jenkins members were playing & singing at the usual Sunday 5pm Mass. The discussion around the dinner table tonight with my lovely family included many things: reminiscing about keeping (or NOT keeping) children’s art projects, famous “Rene sayings” (the most famous is “BUCK UP!”), and most importantly, this blog!
As we were discussing the “Haiku of the Day,” a disagreement was sparked about the “intended topic” for Haikus… which was proven by the woman who is always “right-er” (we’ll call her “Rene”) that Haikus are indeed originally written by the Japanese about nature. However, it was also noted in the discussion about this blog that every member of the Jenkins Household has been published!… all except for one: we’ll call her “Rachel.”
And that brings us to the current time, where this Writer has agreed to script tonight’s blog post… mostly in order to avoid singing the same 5 songs in the Tipsy Trio Playlist coming from the front room… but nonetheless, I (Rachel) can now say that I am published!
And thus ends this blog post… with a Rider, a “Right-er,” and (now) a Writer! But we mustn’t leave out the fourth member of the Jenkins Household… therefore, please see the “Haiku Of the Day” for his contribution to this post. Or rather, I would direct you to it if I could in any way figure out how to edit it, but I can’t, so here it is instead:
Haikus can be weird,
Sometimes they do not make sense.
