Simple Pleasures

A favorite past time for Pop is sitting on the porch with our big, black, goofy, Labrador retriever, Jazz. She and Pop love to gently rock on the swing while listening to the tinkle of the wind chimes. They will sit for hours snoozing or counting the cars go by. One day, when I got home from school, I heard Pop tell Jazz, "That was seven cars that got through that traffic light. The most all day!" Jazz watched Pop intently as he made this proclamation. Then they went back to watching the road, their heads moving in tandem to the passing cars. It reminded me of the last scene from the movie, "UP" where Carl and Russell are sitting on the curb watching the cars, "Red one, Blue one"
