TELEPHONE ADVENTURES

This week Grandpa Sancho had to leave the City by the Lake and travel west to see his medical doctor. It was a long journey and this old grandpa was very tired at the end of his travels. Nothing could cheer him up quite like a telephone adventure with his brave young knight Don Andrew. When this gallant warrior called his faithful sidekick, Grandpa Sancho was almost asleep.

Guess what, Grandpa? Of course this old knight’s squire came to attention pretty quickly. What are you doing, Andrew? Don Andrew replied, We are on top of a building in a traffic jam. It was a good thing Grandpa Sancho was wide awake by this time because that was a confusing message. Come to find out, they were in the Big Fort and had gone to the circus and were stuck on top of a parking garage.

Did you get to see the elephants? The reply came, There were these clowns that were so funny and they did all sorts of things. One of them was on stilts and he did all kinds of tricks. He walked on a rope and turned over and over. It was really good to hear Don Andrew talk about clowns. It hasn’t been too long since clowns frightened him.

The very next day as Grandpa Sancho traveled back to the City by the Lake the phone rang again. What a surprise! This time it was Don Matthew. Now, Don Matthew is so small we have only been able to have baseball and swimming adventures up to this point. Hello Pooh-Paw! I went to Pooh-Paw and Gran’ Ma’s house. I am at my house. And with a little background coaching, I love you Pooh-Paw! Then Don Andrew got on the phone and told his faithful squire all about his day at the child care. He always closes his conversations with, I love you, Grandpa!

I believe one could say, Life just doesn’t get any better than that. To break up a journey clear across Texas with a Telephone Adventure is one very special experience that always makes Grandpa’s happy.
