Isn’t that a contradiction, double solitaire? No matter. That’s what’s taking place behind me right now. Ella and Carib (er, Granny, er, mom, um, MY mom) are playing double solitaire. It’s a good thing, grandmother and granddaughter hanging out together on a drizzly Thursday night.

Each Thursday I drive my dad home from PSCS where he has been volunteering. I then stay for dinner and chat with my folks. Ella came today because her normal Thursday night ballet class isn’t happening due to spring break. We’ve stayed a little longer tonight than I usual stay by myself, both because of the solitaire game and because my dad needed help getting their car dropped off at the mechanic’s.

The baseball and hockey games on TV didn’t hurt matters, either.
