WITH FAMILY in Postcards 4

Mom Chris, Max, Kensie, and Alex.

They were to be here at one. Delayed, they arrived about four. She had been gone for two months to the Philippines. She took her son, Max, who was enthusiastically spoiled by every relative within shouting distance especially by her mom who also has cancer. Yesterday we got to meet this great-grandson for the first time.

He loved the chairs in the dining room. He was fascinated by my watch. He became marvelously well behaved by a ride standing at the front of my scooter. Of such small things is bonding made.

Of course the RAV4, Gus, was a detailed topic of discussion. New RAV4’s are, base price, 26 thousand, but with tax-license-dealer prep-and options, the final price is around 40 thousand. George confessed to spending 11 thousand fixing him back up.
