The wooden encased radio sits on the counter behind the table in the kitchen
Cabinets of glasses and cups shine
Dishes sparkle from their china cabinet shelves
The 'fridge hums and the stove awaits its tasks
The table is oblong and seats at least 10 - though family gatherings are usually 8
Grandad is a rancher and cattleman
He carefully tunes in "Farm and Ranch Report" and the weather
Grandma loves music and her voice beautifully mixes with the songs as she works
The afternoon programs are tuned in by Grandma; such as Fibber Maghee
As Grandma straightens the kitchen after dinner, and then she relaxes playing cards,
Music floats from the radio and I still hear my Grandma's lovely voice....
As my bedtime is near and I drift happily off to sleep.
