David, this is absolutely delightful! I love the transition at the end. It would have been so easy to let the 'gold-plated tin' ruin the memory, but choosing to see the day, the lunch, and the laughter with your grandkids as the real gold is a beautiful way to live. Sometimes the best magic on Earth is simply refusing to let a little fool's gold spoil a perfect afternoon. Thanks for the smile!

Escape Artist Poetry, that made me smile. šŸ˜‚ With the price of gold these days, even a small glimmer is worth noticing — and your piece had more than a glimmer in it. I’m glad I found it.
