mr and mrs powers

mr and mrs powers lived next door. i think they were irish but maybe their cookie jar was just a leprechaun. 

they had a cookie jar and ever day we would run over to their house to visit and to eat a cookie. 

i remember they had green astroturf stuff on their front porch. 

and i liked them just as much as our grandparents but we never got to stay at their house as long. 

when we ran over to their house, across the rocky front yard, it was my job to always hold sam's hand because they had a cactus in the middle of their yard and sam would run into it without fail unless someone was holding his hand.
