“Come on Robbie it's time to go to Grampy's” hallowed my Mom. “Oh boy” I thought to myself. I loved going to Grampy's. It was such a treat on those few Saturday mornings where I could enjoy coffee cakes with my Grampy and play with play dough with my Memeie'. Those Saturday mornings were a big part of my life and very important to me.


After the 30 minute drive we reached their house. I was greeted at the door by my Grampy. We walked in and I took off my shoes. I slide my feet across his cold tile floor and into the living room. I meet my Memeie' in there and exchanged a big hug and then walked back into the kitchen with the rest of the family. I enjoyed coffee cakes with my family, along with raspberry danish and milk. After breakfast me and my Memeie' cleared the big old wooden table. I gathered all of the play dough materials in the big yellow buckets. We had many different colors and play dough tools.


I could have stayed for hours, we were making foods, cookie shapes, and just strange things I made with my hands. I felt I could create anything. We always had the most fun time, it was our special time we spent together. I just kept saying “ Let's make this know.” It was always so herd to leave because we had so much fun together.


Looking back I realize how much she meant to me. I never realized how much I would miss her until she was gone. We spent a lot of time together but not enough time. I miss her, and especially those Saturday mornings. Me and my family love and miss her, and we always will.

Great story Robbie. It had me thinking back to my grandparents and the good times I had with them.
