My Grandpa loved three things:
Wading boots, fishing,
And Catalpa worms for bait.
He hated Grandchildren running through his garden,
Being told he couldn’t have ice cream for breakfast,
And Stepping on slippery stones.
—-It is not wise to fish in the Eel River Alone!
Great ending – much more to this story! Love how you capture your grandpa’s essence in this short space!
Thank you I’m honored you like it! He loved to fish! I enjoyed the Half Marathon! I hope you did as well!
I did enjoy the half marathon and I am so glad I entered again! See you next year!
I’m so glad you enjoyed it! Was this your first year? Are you an author? I love to write, Mostly poetry. I have a group called the heart speaks on Facebook it is a closed group. But I can add you on there if you’d like to write there also or just peek in to see what others write about! Have a great day.
Thanks, Debbie! I am an author of accessible novels for teens (hi-lo and realistic fiction). I appreciate the invitation! I also have an author page on Facebook but I am never sure how folks get to it! 🙂 This was my second time doing the half marathon – how about you?
