bye bye Mom and Dad Feets You know spring is truly here when the parental units head back to Michigan....

We had a nice gathering to wish them farewell, inspiring me to write the following bit of (bad) poetry:

Back in Michigan
(and elsewhere I reckon)
The snow is melting
and the grandkids beckon.

And Keeper, the dog
is feeling quite sad
She dreams of the beach
and truck rides with her dad.

So Mom and Dad Feets
are packing it up
and heading back north
to their other home and pup

They will be missed,
of that there's no doubt,
for the summer, my parents
I will have to be without.

We know they'll be back
when the north wind prevails
But for now, please come by
and wish them happy trails!
