Memories I Have

Tags: Dallas, Falcon Crest, Gram, memories, Pap

These are my memories of growing up with my grandparents. My Gram has passed and my Pap is still with us but ready to go home.

I remember Friday nights watching Falcon Crest and Dallas on TV

Butter popcorn – that’s what our late night snack would be

I remember Saturday mornings being the best

The smell of breakfast filtering up the steps

I remember who taught me to make a killer egg omelet

My Pap the best cook and teacher my skill has been set

I remember Saturday evenings gathered around the table

Our family time together so much fun even though we were hardly stable

I remember doing homework then playing cards with Gram

That seems like ages ago and our hourglass has run out of sand

I remember Christmas time with Aunt Linda and Uncle Mike

How us kids would pray we’d get snow during the night

I remember Pap giving me the opportunity to drive

His patience with me has helped me thrive

There are so many memories that run through my mind

I think I’d trade them for a little extra time

I can’t believe our time is coming to an end

But I’ll look forward to the day when we’re all together again

My memories of childhood were of seeing the Flash Gordon Series at the local Movie house on Saturday Mornings! OLD OR WHAT?
