Another of the meaningful aspects of my parents' visit this week is the connection they've been able to build with the girls. Grandma, in particular, developed a great relationship with Gwennie -- and with Greta, who can be a little aloof with visitors. It wasn't just the doughnuts and movies, whatever Mom would say -- they had really involved conversations while Dad and I were running the Workshop late. It will be hard to see them go back to Idaho.
Margaret: You go to work, Daddy?
Todd: No, Greta, it's Sunday -- we're going to church.
M: I not go to church.
T: No? Where are you going?
M: I go to work!
T: Where do you work?
M: I go in Mama's car . . . and I go in Daddy's car . . .
T: But where do you take the car to work?
M: Uh . . . I work at . . . karate!
