The Biographer

No news on the Bonde front.  Thursday Penny arrived in Clara’s van with George.  I walked outdoors to greet them, but he announced that he liked “grandma better than you, grandpa.”  I replied lamely that I love grandma too.  He continued:  “grandma is smaller and she talks differently than you, grandpa.”  

Later George was disappearing from the kitchen with a treat that grandma had given him.  I observed that grandma is very generous.  George replied, “that’s why I like grandma better than you, grandpa.”

It’s Tuesday and the forecast said it would be 101 degrees Fahrenheit today.  Penny moves the air around our house with a system of fans and I am quite comfortable.
