Grandchildren are pearls for us old timers. They give brightness in the late stages of an elderly's life. I enjoyed your adventure. Your trip to the restaurant made me hungry. I agree this country is not well-planned for electric cars. Good writing.

A great sharing of the family dynamics and the special occasion. I didn't think the details of the pizzas added anything, but otherwise it was a sweet story. Grandchildren are a delight.

Well, I just might be hungry for a week after reading this, since I'm a true foodoholic. And as risky as it might seem to most, I love to sample everything from the street vendors. LOL. Thanks for sharing.

I like the sound of the vegetable pizza, although I don't normally eat pizza, this sounds pretty appetising. Grandma's pie sounds pretty amazing too. You certainly made my mouth water with this write as this was a fun thanksgiving, much enjoyed, love Dolly x

I enjoyed you recount of the trip, John. I liked the way you
shared getting ready for it. Jackson sounded like a bright
youngster who was excited about learning. That electric car
mess isn't worth it to me either. I look forward to the next
chapter.
Thanks for sharing, Jan

I happen to love spumoni, but haven't seen in stores for years. Maybe they don't have it in Texas. When I was growing up in Illinois my dad used to buy it.

I enjoyed reading and thank you for sharing Jackson with us.

Miss Marie brought Jackson over to Cindy, she quizzically asked, "are you really going to New York City, and the Top of the Rock on Saturday?" (capital 'a' needd on 'are')

I enjoyed this tale about Jackson's trip to visit with you and Grammy. I liked the details, except the description of the pizzas was perhaps a little too much, and I skimmed through that.

It's obvious you enjoy being a grandpa, John. I share your joy, as I have two young grandsons who live 10 minutes away, and we've been part of their lives since birth. Grandchildren are the best, aren't they? So amusing to listen to as they recite their experiences.

This was very well-written and amusing.

    Thanks for the correction and stopping to read my story.
    Yup, grandchildren are great. I have Jackson and four in Florida with my son, five total.
    Good thing for FaceTime and email?.

Yikes! Tiny font... You must have great eyesight.

Nonetheless, I shall persevere because your writing is great!

"Taco Supreme Pizza : Taco Meat, Taco Chips, Onions, Tomatoes, Black Olives, Hot Peppers, American cheese
Grandma Pie : Fresh Mozzarella Topped with Sweet Plum Tomatoes & Drizzled with Homemade Pesto and olive oil
Vegetable Pizza : Spinach, Tomatoes, Onions, Mushrooms, Broccoli, Eggplant
Steak Luigi Roll - Strips of Steak, Mushrooms, Onions & Provolone .
Pepperoni Roll - Pepperoni, Spinach, Mozzarella, Grated Cheese & Garlic."

Thanks. I am now eating ginger cake. I do not need ginger cake. (LOL)

All kidding aside, what a sweet story! And you left it in such a way it compels the reader to read the final part... Well done!

    No, my eyesight tried to enlarge the font using advance editor, just couldn?t get it to work. Sorry.
    Thanks for reading my post, I appreciate it very much.
    Part 3 will post this coming weekend.

    Odd - under "size" you scroll down to what you think should do it. Depending on the font you choose, I find most things need at least an 18 or 20 pt. Maybe your computer is giving you trouble...?

    I?ll be sure to be a little more diligent on my next post. I copied and pasted your note.
    Thank you

You all sure eat well at Grammy's house. I agree about the electric car, but we just got a hybrid January second, and it hasn't needed gas yet. For the first day, Jackson seems to be having a great time.
