An Unforgettable Trip (Part 1)

Rating: 5.0


When ever I see the snowfall in the spring. It brings
back to mind a very special memory, and the lesson learned
of friendship and sharing! It was a late March morning and
my girlfriend and I woke in the old lion head iron barred
bed in Grandmothers guest room. In my mind the lion heads
on the bed were there to protect us from the boogie man and
things that go bump in the dark of the night. They kept us
safe! And as my girlfriend rolled over and looked at me. She
said, whew! That was a close one! But, the lions gobbled up
the monsters once again! I playfully pulled the covers over
her head as we laughed. Glad to know she shared my thoughts
of our protectors! The air of the large bedroom was chilly.
As like knowingly the rest of the huge rustic farm house of
Grandma and Grandpas, would be. Which made us both slow to
rise out of the comfort of the bed. The sound of the milk
truck coming up the drive, made us reluctantly get up. The
damp musty odor of the house quickly hit our nostrils and
awoken our senses and our excitement for our surroundings.
as we slowly crept down the squeaky narrow staircase,
turning and leading to the living room. The glorious smell
of the old wood burning stove, being fed by Grandma, came
to us. Grandpa was sitting in his rocker, smiling to him
self. As he gazed out at the morning sun, streaking in
through the kitchen window. He smiled and sighed as he said.
Springtime sure gets me fueled up! And just in saying so, he
suddenly passed gas. Laughing away, rocking back and forth.
As he did so.

What a great memory, and very funny ending! Like Gradma's Feather Bed.... I can imagine this, along with its sequels, as an illustrated story for kids.
