stopping to ‘fuel up’
with my six-pack of grandies
on our road trip to the north.

a road food break above, posted ten years ago, 2016
chilling out at the pool, below
now all are in high school/college
to all the grandparents on grandparents’ day
it’s such a great adventure
ten years have passed
since the moment
when my entire 6-pack of grandies
at last
all on the same continent
met for the very first time
in a large box on my front lawn
as long as i live
i will never forget that moment.
