Excellent

you chose your words well to allow the reader to see and feel your journey to visit family and how the weather was so different along the way

it flows with good imagery to portray the message that is easy to understand

engaging read

Welcome back! I hope you had a lovely time. Catching up with family is wonderful, but that was one heck of a lonnnnng road trip to make! Phew, I bet you are glad to be back home.

Hi, Carolyn.
Your trip sounds wonderful, packed each day with a new adventure. I'm so happy for you that you got to spend time with family. I enjoyed seeing the picture from the old frontier town. I look forward to seeing and reading more about your trip.

Hi Carolyn. It sounds like you had a great trip. I was way behind on my reviewing and trying to catch up. Almost there, but tired now. Loved your little story trip. Thanks for sharing. :>D Miss Sally

Just want to welcome you back home! Family is a must and should never be left to the years away. I have so many relatives in Portales New Mexico and only get to see them every other year for reunions.
God bless!

Hi Steve,
It is difficult to live apart from family. Now that we are retired it is easier, we go west about 3 times a year. It is an amazing sight to see spring in the desert.
Thank you so much for the great review, Carolyn

Short or long, we review to earn money so we can post our work. Sounds a bit greedy I suppose, but that is how the site works. I thought you wrote this note well. I will be waiting for your next post. Drew xx

Carolyn; thank you for sharing your times traveling through the Mid lands and south areas of United States. From what you have written and must've been enjoyable for all of you. I just love the picture you chosen for your poem is it even though it's very rustic it does the spirit of the area that you visited. Thank you for sharing and posting and may the good Lord be with you always Carolyn.
