Trip 14

 May 14, 2023

 

My mom’s grandma

came from England

when she was three.

 

Today, Mother’s Day,

Sis and I are in England,

thinking about Mom

 

and the little quirks

she had that were passed down

from her English grandmother,

 

like sugar and cream in tea,

going by Mummy not Mommy,

and calling an underpass a subway.

 

Sis and I watched Lion King, the musical,

and ate at Rules, a London restaurant

founded in 1798.

 

It seemed like Great-grandma

was right there with us

eating Yorkshire pudding.
