and somewhere along the way
the houses got bigger, fatter

is incisive.
another sweet, atmospheric poem. I'm becoming a fan.

minor cribs:
1) from Grandma’s paper bag. --> the ownership of the paper bag is clear from L1, and I don't think there's anything gained from repeating 'Grandma's'. Reads better without this line
2) after the roast was gone. . . --> as a general rule, I am not fond of ellipses. A simple fullstop should be enough here.

Thank you, I'm so glad you enjoyed this.  You make a very good point on the second Grandma, it may be too sentimental, and I know you are right about the ellipse, I will be leaving that out.  Mcfair
