Upside Ann

I've got a new boyfriend.  Landon.  He's going into the 5th grade next year.  I'm not sure if I'm cheating on my husband or my son. We meet at the pool.  As soon as I arrives, he's beside me asking "Do you want to dive off the board with me?" Absolutely, Landon.  Absolutely.   Zupe stopped playing with me 2 years ago.  If I swim up to him, he points me to the nearest ladder.  But, Landon... "Want to do a cannonball this time?"   "Let's run up to the edge and dive in!" And, he's so charming.  "How old ARE YOU?"  "Did you sleep OK last night? You look tired." Once again, I'm having fun and in demand!

 "...You have given me a great gift, my dear, dear friend.  You have reopened by childhood.  Sit with me awhile and then return to your life.  I will keep you always in my heart." Smiling, I drew graham crackers, peanut butter, and a plastic knife from my purse and laid them on the table.  Added two Cokes in six-ouce glass bottles.  Then I drew a chair close. "You can't really visit Green Gables," I said.
