POP
Anciano Grandpa Pop Journey, great-grandpa to our young knight Don Andrew, was a grand old fellow who lived by himself in San Diego by the Sea. We loaded the wagons, complete with Don Andrew, and went to San Diego to see Anciano Grandpa Pop. This was a couple of years ago. This befuddled old laborer had a great time with Don Andrew in Pop’s backyard playing shovel. Could that have been were Don Andrew developed his first love for digging wormies? Who knows! It really would have been nice for Don Andrew to have his great grandpa’s shovel. Don Andrew enjoyed being with his Great Grandpa.
I am so glad our young knight got to see his great-grandpa when he did because shortly after that Anciano Grandpa Pop died. His daughter lives in a city by the Golden Gate Bridge, along with her husband. They are neat people and provide Don Andrew and Don Matthew with a great pair of grandparents.
Don Andrew is very close to both his old grandpas, as well as his grandmas. But, he has three grandmas. Grandma Sancha’s mother is still quite alive at 93 in the Key City of West, TX, which isn’t really in West Texas at all.
Now, just a little while back it occurred to our 3½ year old knight that he was a little out of balance in life. If he had three grandmas why did he only have two grandpas? He took this question to his mother Doña Duchess. His mom explained all about Anciano Grandpa Pop Journey. This information left even our young knight a bit befuddled and quite troubled in spirit.
At this point, Don Andrew was a bit sleepy and was in need of a nap so he fell asleep (Don’t believe that for a minute—he had to be told to take a nap). Anyway, in a matter of a couple of hours, our young knight awakened from his nap, came into his mother and, rubbing the sleep from his eyes, announced what he must do. Was it a dream? You must draw your own conclusions.
Don Andrew told Doña Duchess he would just dig his grandpa up out of the ground and wipe all the dirt off his face. This way he reasoned he would be back in balance in the grandparent department. Doña Duchess doesn’t dare tell Don Andrew about anymore of his deceased grandparents quite yet. There will be another day.
