Coming up the walk this afternoon I saw a red American Legion Poppy on the lawn.

As a kid my Grandmother and Great Aunt Jo, would spend hours assembling the poppies. I can remember going to Grandmas as a kid and helping put them together. Sitting next to her with the top of the box in my lap and the bottom on the floor we would take the stem put a little Elmer’s glue on the bottom of the little green ball with a toothpick, then take a flag and fold it with the gluey toothpick, now drop it in the box on the floor. Sitting, making flowers and talking to my Grandma.

Grandma passed ten years ago at the end of May. I think she was just saying Hi.

So that’s my “Hi” moment, anyone else?
 
What a wonderful story... I remember my dad buying me one every year...
 
Great story. Thank you because it brought back memories of my dad. He worked for the VA and was a member of the American Legion.
