living room.

and on the last night they’ll ever spend

in the only house they’ve ever lived

before moving to their wonderful new location for their wonderful new adventures

we celebrate by finally getting to eat in the living room without sneaking.

skills.

grandie creates his quilt

stitching fabrics of his choosing

that he’s learned to sew upon

this machine that he is using.

 his ukulele sits nearby

waiting for some play

as the sled stands outside

with hopes of snowy day.

stop time.

two of my grandies at the detroit zoo

experiencing the butterfly house

firsthand

and finding 

just who exactly

is patiently sitting with them

waiting for his identity to be discovered.

even a tiny fleck of it stops time.”

a bajillion packs of ranch dressing 

and it’s
