Ever since the death of The Hubby’s grandmother, we’ve been spending lots of extra time with his grandfather (who happens to also be our neighbor). He’s such a fun, quirky old man, but he totally caught me off guard tonight.
Squeaks and I were visiting his house after dinner. He had the news on tv while we were visiting. When the weather came on, he pulled out a little calendar and wrote down the day’s temperature. After quizzing him on why he was doing such a thing, he answered with this: “I’m going to do this every night. That way this time next year when they say what the temperature was a year ago, I’ll know if they were telling the truth.” The man cracks me up. Talk about too much free time.
In related news, said grandfather and my MIL are off on a week-long vacation, starting Saturday. That means ONE WHOLE WEEK without dealing with her crap! Is it wrong to hope she decides to stay on vacation permanantly?
