Well we had the grandkids over the other day, and the little
boy was with them. You remember the one; we used to watch him before he was old
enough to go to school. But we don’t watch him anymore since he is now grown up
and in the second grade.
Well the two of us sat at our table in the kitchen and
remembered the old days, when we use to sit there in the mornings. We talked
about how grandma would bring us breakfast. We sometimes had hash browns and
bacon, sometimes pancakes. We remembered how we talked about things and had a
good time. We remembered too how wonderful the breakfasts were.
And there were other things that reminded us of the past.
Like later that day when we fed the cats and took trash down to the road, just
like we did in the old days. He then asked about Smokey, and I explained how
that cat ran off. He then picked up a rock to throw in the pond, but I told him
he probably shouldn’t do that. After all, his aunt would get mad because she
didn’t get to throw rocks in the pond when she was little. He reminded me how
he used to, back in the old days, so I said one would be okay.
We talked about other things too, about kicking through the
leaves in October, and stomping around in the snow, and how we would get the
mail every day. I told him how Papa enjoyed having him around, but I didn’t say
anything about missing him. I didn’t want him to feel bad, now that he has
grown up and all. After all, growing up is the way of life. It’s just that it
happens so fast.
Well we had the grandkids over the other day, and I spent
some time with the boy. Kinda reminded me of the old days.
