Gramma and Papa booster shot

            Text message from Nellie, Mike, and Fiona:

            “Where are you and Dad going to be this weekend?”
            “Home. Dad’s working. Why do you ask?”
            “We’re thinking of maybe driving up for a visit.”
            Keep cool, don’t scare them off with over-exuberance
            “Oh that would be great. Just let us know.”

            … a few hours later
​
            “We’re coming!”
            “YAY YAY YAY YAY YAY!!!”
           
            11:30am, Fiona, long overdue for naptime, finally fell asleep against my shoulder, my favorite Grandma position. Now she’s napping while Mom and Dad go find a swimming hole.
            I like this job.
