I wanted to post pictures of various vacation spots, and
some of the exciting places we visited during our many vacations, but alas, my
computer ate them. No matter, because the ending of that montage would have been
the same, a picture of my grandmothers farm. Heaven on earth and filled with
memories – the most ideal place on earth to escape the rat race. The poem is recycled from a previous blog, but says it all.
When I was seven
I found heaven
my grandmother's house
I was the city mouse.
With a large bed just for me
not one bed, shared by three
awake each morning
to a bird song melody.
Peace and quiet
and a pancake diet
amid the flowers and the trees
I explored alongside the bees.
A crowing rooster, cows, and chickens
I helped out in the barn and the kitchen
a sewing lesson with needle and thread
soon exhausted, I curled up in my large bed.
Snakes and storms, roses and thorns
homemade ice cream and fresh corn
my escape from a family of seven
Grandma's earthly home was heaven.
