- Grandma Skating -

        Grandma maneuvers
        and performs tricks on the board
        She keeps up with most kids
        Skating creates friendships
        at different age levels

        I guess you can imagine
        how she felt when she discovered,
        Saturns rings
        Grandma was immediately attracted
        When life presents a challenge,
        don't worry about anything

Kim Rodrigues February 26, 2025 at 7:27 AM Such a cute poem and with the pic and all…Grandma would fall ff the rings, but she certainly sails fair winds with a grandchild and their unending imagination. Hugs

Red shoelaces are cool. What city is that? Oslo? Anne-Lise Andresen February 25, 2025 at 1:15 AM - I don't know which city, but it's not Oslo... many thanks for your comment, Connie :) - hugs
