Perry, This poem created a perfect image of your grandmom in the kitchen. It brought back memories for me as well. It is not often that a poem can transport the reader to a different time or place. This poem does.

What a fun poem, Perry. I can just see Grandma dancing in her kitchen now. This speaks of such good family interactions among the generations.
