Oh to California

Mom's voice like peach fuzz

Memories on blankets of soft white silk fluttering in the warm wind-
rippling back to me with the tide.

Dad's strong hands, rough and tired from hours on the stearing wheel. Reaching from behind the seat. Finding my soft pink hands.

I see his broad smile and glimmering eyes in the rear view mirror.

Love

A slow drive down south to California.

Asleep on the bumpy road with their murmurs and low laughter lulling me to dream.

Dear Libellule,

I am contacting you regarding a blog survey I am conducting. I am a Ph.D. candidate in Mass Communication at Penn State and my dissertation project consists of a survey that looks at women bloggers’ perceived motivations for and effects of their blogging.

I am sending the survey to a number of bloggers, and I would like to invite you to participate in it as well. Participation should take approximately 15 minutes of your time. I would appreciate it tremendously if you would be willing to take the survey. If you decide to do so, please follow the link below:

I would be very happy to share the findings of my study with you once it is completed!

If you have any questions or comments, please don’t hesitate to contact me!

Thank you in advance,

Carmen
