I had in mind to do a funny post.
to spin a yarn,
and craft an amusing
tale of kids
and airplanes.
A tail of kites
and cats.
But melancholy
descends in the hours
before.
Remembrance of childish cares
fading into the long afternoon adult worries.
The heart looks back,
while the mind sees the horizon.
Stand here and remember the
child who was.
See the youth walking down
the long corridor of learning.
Imagine the man who will be
here too soon.
July is the month for kids. Today we picked up the first grand child from the airport. He’s here for a long visit. His two younger brothers arrive in 10 days. Since they live on the other coast, we don’t get to seem them as often as we’d like.
This morning, just before going to the airport, I sat down to write this week’s blog post that was going to be titled, “Camp Gran,” but this came out instead. Perhaps on another day, after a bit of fun, hot dogs and too much pop corn I’ll be able to give you the tour.
I won’t be publishing as much over the next few weeks while enjoy what time has been given us.
Till next week,
Andrew

We try to give them a positive experience. Or at least one that will require the least amount of therapy later on…
