John and I returned to Vancouver Island at the end of April. Since that time, we’ve been gardening, planning a kitchen, spring cleaning, volunteering, you know, the things you do when you return to your home after three months, like writing a book, novelette, short story, poem, haiku.
Here it is.
Regret
sleepless restless nights
vacuum leering touching bed
overflowing with live spiders
What do you think?
What I haven’t been doing is posting on my blog. I’ve decided to take a break for a while, but fear not, you can still enjoy Smith humour as my son, Matt, has resurrected his comic site, SMITH VS. SMITH. He’s very talented, very funny, and very committed to becoming a successful writer. He’s so good, people are hiring him to create comics about their lives. I think it’s time for his comics to do the talking. Here’s one he wrote just for me.
And his most recent one. Jobs for Cats
He also writes about his life in Kuwait with his new wife, Emma,
and action heroes…
You can follow Matt on Instagram or his comic site, SMITH VS. SMITH
Matt is available for commission work too. I know I know. What doesn’t this kid do?
If interested E-mail him at mattsmithcomics@gmail.com.
Take care everyone. I’ll continue to check out your sites during my hiatus.
Shelley and John
Hi Shelley,
sometimes a break from blogging is simply necessary: just what the doctor ordered. 😉 But I do hope to see you blogging again some time (soon). I enjoy(ed) reading your posts so much.
Have a wonderful Memorial Day weekend,
Pit

So that’s what you’re supposed to do, announce your hiatus?!?! Lol, I guess I am late for that on my blog!
Matt is seriously funny…going to follow him and hope your hiatus isn’t as long as mine. Heehee.

I thought I should share my hiatus news in case Ellen DeGeneres was wondering what happened to me. Wink! So glad that you will follow Matt. He’s back in Canada next year studying graphic novels.

You bet I am. He is taking a graphic novel course and Emma art. They’ll be a few hours away but wayyy closer than Kuwait.

Your haiku will give me nightmares. And your sense of humor appears to be passed down to your son. Enjoy your hiatus.

Thanks Brenda. Off to garden before the west coast rain hits. BTW my husband didn’t get the haiku. I had to explain that I sucked up live spiders..
