Your Grandma Has the Keenest Place

Be sure and notice her life sized pink metallic gorilla lamp.
I look at my friend. Are you serious?
She nods.
I could not have missed it, I almost tripped over it.
Your grandmother has eclectic taste I told her!
There were so many things to look at I was amazed.
Next I lost my footing on an oversized purple stuffed moose.
When I landed in her grandma’s lap, she laughed.
You have such a keen place! I told her.
“The pink gorilla has a crush on me,” she said.
She had tiny lavender curly hair and the bluest eyes.
I nodded, believing it.

Haven't seen 'keen' for quite a while: 'Choc'latey keen with cream in between!' That was some kind Hostess concoction, back in the day...

I would have loved a grandma like this. I too am eclectic and have a few odd things for attention getters in my house. At least people talk about it!! Good one.

I have visited home where I could not keep from looking around at all of the interesting things they had collected over the years.
