While he was gone, Grandma came over to bring Mother some butter and cottage cheese. |
Grandma dragged out the old tin bath, sat each kid in it, and treated the outbreak with kero. |
For the next several weeks, Grandma refused to speak to Mother, openly snubbing her not only in public but in her own backyard as well. |
We drove home in an uncomfortable silence, Grandma sensing my saturnine mood. |
Grandma and grandpa were there too, only in like a sort of ghostly insubstantial form. |
Today we travel down to the West to do the funeral service and burial for Grandma on Saturday. |
