a holiday and memories

Martin Luther King Day
so
no school
so Grammy gets to spend the day with little man


He arrives about 7:30 and has already had his breakfast
               ( every morning, favorite granola bar )
He takes his shoes off at the door and heads upstairs to find dirty clothes
               ( once we get the laundry started, we can start our adventure )
He is hungry now and those waffles sound good
                ( amazing what a growing boy can consume )
We are ready to start our "journey"

First stop is Bartells, favorite drug store,cleaners, Rx, just a little of everything.... for years
                 ( just ask any of our kids who was the candy lady )
Next stop is Aunt Gingers.  She belongs to everyone. 
                 ( little man keeps track of numbers 1122..almost there )
  As soon as we enter her cozy home she directs little man to a lego board and he begins to "sign" his name and make a design.
                   ( Grammy  needs to add he was a perfect gentleman while visiting. )

As we drive down the hill I tell little man to look carefully out the window and see the beautiful mountains.
Little man says:  " One thing Grammy, are you paying attention to the traffic, or looking at the mountains? "

a little later little man says:  " One thing Grammy, I love you "

I could stop right there and not write another word, because that is the highlight of the day.
However,
We  continued on to Crossroads. They were celebrating the holiday and were handing out toothbrushes, water bottles, bandaids , candy and a fireman's hat
This mall still has those great  25 ¢ rides.    And little man is still happy to take a ride

 

Hungry again we are heading to the final stop.  Keeping track of time and little man remember it is just like Aunt Ginger's ...11:22  .....
    ( he is good at math )

and where does little man like to get lunch?

I live an exciting life and the best part
    Little man loves me
