This month we see my granny. I anticipate seeing her, even if she’s become a bit obstinate in her old age. I won’t embarrass her by divulging her years, but let us just say she’s a lady with exhaustively seasoned wisdom.
The last time I saw her I brought in my Yamaha keyboard so I could perform some music for her. She relished it, but regrettably because she is not entirely there, she kept disrupting me to inquire of me how to clean her computer. Yes, she really uses a computer. And perhaps she was disrupting me because I’m just that weak at the keyboard.
I always discover something enigmatic at her place when I visit. Last time, I observed several books on penny stocks on her cocktail table. My grandmother learning about trading penny stock? That’s bizarre. I wonder what I’ll find on her coffee table this year.
This year will make for a busy sojourn. We have to install her new Emtek door knobs and air conditioner filters then repair her garden cart. I likewise have to bring her old pots and pans to charity because she recently purchased a new collection of pots and pans to replace them. As a reward, she claims to also have purchased one of the best ice cream makers and the greatest of all the electic coffee makers. I appreciate it, yet I also must laugh softly as she invariably claims to have or utilize only the greatest of this or that.
If all proceeds well, she will employ both to serve me some delicious java at dawn and ice cream in the evening. That sounds like more than pay back enough for my effort. I’m happy to assist her for nothing, but a bit of rich java and creamy ice cream does not hurt.
