I have a granddaughter! Since I still look at my sons, now 32 and 29 and on their own since college, and can't fathom where they came from, having a grandchild is truly confounding.
A few weeks ago, Leah and her parents were coming to the Valley, as Andrew and Emily were going to a banquet. Andrew's best friend since middle school, Joey, er Joseph, was being inducted into their high school baseball hall of fame, as Andrew was last year. Grandpa John, Leah's daddy's dad, and Bonus Grandma Andrea, Leah's daddy's bonus mom, were going to babysit, and Doug and I were to show up the next morning for Leah time. However, as we were just getting back to the Valley from a visit in Seattle with Doug's daughter, Katie, and her husband, Javier, rather than going home to Visalia, forty miles southeast of Fresno, and driving back to Fresno the next morning, we asked John and Andrea if they'd mind if we stopped at their home for the night.
