Granny's Tales

I love the stories my granny will tell From a much more simple time The way she met Papa and in love they fell She worked at the five and dime Then there's the one of her driving lesson Flying down a winding mountain Her mom needed anxiety medicine Eyes were closed and counting Pictures match the stories of the time and place Her high school years occurred Blonde curly hair and an angel face The trouble that she stirred Throwing pies at the boys outside the window In her home economics class Such innocent mischief, a tough row to hoe Poodle skirts, long socks and sass She was a working woman for American Airlines Full time job and mother of three Well put together and looking so fine Photographs for me to see I love how she dotes on the love of her life Such a handsome man was he After a couple of dates, destined to be his wife The start of my family

I Love this write Anna! It's always great to sit and hear tales from a grandparent. I wish the old days were still here.
