grandson, grown up a thousand

miles away, now a high school graduate

come for his cousin’s wedding

so i get to spend a day of joy

with daughter-in-law, much-missed son

and D exploring Powell’s Books

and dining on the Washington side

of the Columbia River at Beaches

with Voo-Doo donuts for dessert

what a day!
