A doting old Great Grandpa ........

On Thursday, and don't ask why, we pick up our five year old Great Grandaughter, Miss Brooklyn, and take her to her pre-school class. A long drive, but we are rewarded with a big wave, Grandma gets hugs and kisses, I get none, we wave at her sister, Miss Emma, and chat on the way to school.

"How was the pumpkin patch yesterday on your field trip ..... how is Miss Emma .... etc., etc., etc.

We pulled up in front of her school, she and my wife got out, and as she was exiting .... "Nice talkin to ya," and she exited the car. Five years old ..... Nice Talkin to Ya ........... my little Great Granddaughter said that ..... to me ......... Nice Talkin to Ya ........

It does not take a lot to completely brighten the day of an old person like me. Four little words, brightened my day ..... and a phrase I will never forget ....................... Thanks Miss Brooklyn, you made my day...........................
