This month we visit my grandma. I anticipate seeing her, even if she has become a bit stubborn in her old age. I won’t embarrass her by sharing her age, but let us simply say she’s a lady with thoroughly practiced wisdom.
The last time I visited her I brought my Yamaha keyboard so I could play her some music. She relished it, but regrettably since she’s not entirely there, she kept disrupting me to ask me how to clean her computer. Yes, she really uses a computer. And maybe she was disrupting me because I am simply that weak at playing the keyboard.
I always find something bewildering at her place when I see her. Last time, I found several books on penny stocks on her cocktail table. My grandma buying penny stocks? That is bizarre. I wonder what I will discover on her coffee table this time.
This week will make for a busy sojourn. We have to install her different Emtek door knobs and air conditioner filters then fix her garden cart. I also need to bring her old pots and pans to charity because she recently purchased a new set of pots and pans to supplant them. As a reward, she claims to also have purchased the best of the cheapest ice cream makers and the greatest of all the electic coffee makers. I’m thankful, but I also must laugh softly as she invariably claims to have or utilize only the very best of this or that.
If all goes well, she will use both to dish me some delicious coffee 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 robust java and creamy ice cream does not bother me.
