Visiting Milwaukee
And the sun is blazing hot.
Our tolerance, as we get old,
Is something we ain’t got.
So yesterday, the river walk
Enticed us and we went,
The temperature’s effects not really
All that evident…
Until, with nighttime tickets
To a huge James Taylor show,
The heat affected us so much,
We almost didn’t go.
We made it, though we didn’t stay
Until the ending part,
Since other bands played first and James,
Much later, got to start.
Still, it was great to see him
And to hear how good he sounds.
Today, though, being in the heat
Was strictly out of bounds.
Instead, the Art Museum was
The destination where
We spent four delightful hours
And I froze my tush off there!
LOL. My daughter wants to go to Milwaukee to see a cat.
This is part of a group text from my own daughter.
Her daughter is seventeen and a favorite grandchild of mine.
Where in Milwaukee? I ask. Silly as I have never been there.
An antique mall that has a live cat. Hmm… Sounds good to me.
I text my granddaughter. Want to go to Milwaukee with me?
Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Emoji Emoji Emoji Emoji Emoji
We will have to ask your mother. This gets done quickly.
We head to Milwaukee, a twelve hour and twenty-three minute trip.
Talking and laughing until our sides ache for three glorious days!
