This month we see my granny. I anticipate meeting her, though she has grown a little obstinate in her later years. I will not embarrass her by sharing her years, but let us simply suppose she is a woman with thoroughly seasoned wisdom.

I understand her daughter just brought by a litter of baby kittens for entertainment. Of course, her daughter had to endure an extended lesson on kitten care. I am certain my grandma would have loved to retain one or two of the baby kitties, but they are just too much for her to handle at this stage.

I always find something puzzling at her home when I see her. Last time, I found several books on penny stocks on her cocktail table. My grandmother learning about penny stock trading? That’s nuts. I wonder what I’ll discover on her coffee table this year.

This week will make for a busy visit. We have to put in her new Emtek door knobs and air conditioner filters then fix her garden cart. I additionally have to bring her old pot and pan to charity as she recently bought a new set of pots and pans to replace them. As a reward, she claims to also have purchased the best ice cream maker and the greatest of all the electic coffee makers. I appreciate it, but I also must laugh softly as she always claims to have or utilize only the greatest of this or that.

If everything proceeds well, she will employ both to dish me some sweet java at dawn and ice cream in the afternoon. That sounds like more than pay back enough for my effort. I am glad to assist her for nothing, but a little robust coffee and creamy ice cream does not hurt.
