i’m very honored to see
that i was squeezed in between
‘tacos’ and ‘fall’
as one of my grandie’s favorite things.

the grandies offered me a chance
to choose my superpower –
flight, strength, invisibility, speed, or shape shift?
i chose invisibilty
got inside of the machine
they powered it up
when i came out
they confirmed that i was now invisible.
except for my feet
which did not fit in the box.
i can live with that.

to do list – style b:

babies r and v
numbers 16 and 8
get ready for their show
and then
with no fear
and great excitement
off they go
on their trusted steeds
and home again safely
with blue ribbons
and happy hearts

care, and not fine stables, makes a good horse.
– danish proverb
first sleepover
at peaches’ cottage
for
babies b and j
and
we are
making
shadow puppets
on the wall
and
there is
a
feeling
of
magical electricity
in the air
