You've awoken incredibly strong memories of a man who influenced my life in more ways than I understand. I'm a writer because of my grandfather, and the kitchen table where he would weave endless and endlessly rich stories had a tablecloth just like this.
I close my eyes and I can still see it.
You have an amazing gift, Shane. Michele concurs with me.

I never knew what it was like to have a grandpa. I did have a granny, but didn't see her often due to my parents' divorce.
I do feel I missed out on having a grandpa to bounce me on his knee, and tell me I was his girl....
Michele sent me to say hi, shane :-)

Shane,
My grandfather wasn't much of a trickster, but the sentiment of the haiga is spot on. Great little site. Michele sent me and I'm quite glad she did.

This is another fantastic piece... IT would look great as a background for a blog...
Here from Michele's, although Carmi beat me to you (I thought I would stop by all the same!!!
My grandpa's trick to get me out of bed in the morning was singing a song he made up. Can't believe I miss it now!
Made me really smile. :) Both of my grandfathers were that way.
oh this is a lovely haiga :)
Both my grandfathers died when I was a baby. But I'm about to become a grandfather (due 8/17) for the first time at 74.
Your ku is a charmer.
Mr. kenju's favorite trick for children is the thumb that comes apart!
This piece brings back memories. Exquisite.
