Just a little more than ten years ago, I traveled to Chicago to be with my two oldest grandchildren--Harry and Bronwen--while their parents were attending academic conferences. It was June and Harry who was eight and Bronwen who was six had just finished school in Hyde Park. We had a great time beginning the summer vacation for several days. I posted pictures on line and kept an account of what we were up to. That narrative is long gone but the pictures are not.This came to mind because I am preparing to travel to Appleton WI where Harry is a first year student at Lawrence University and Bronwen is a junior in high school. The reason for my trip--at this particular time--is that Meg is off to an academic conference and Lynne has taken a new job that requires her to be in Whitewater during the week. Hence, Grandaddy is again providing custodial care--sort of-- for a few days. It will be great to be with Harry and Bronwen in a reprise of our earlier adventure. Of course, school is in session and Harry lives in the residence halls. Oh yes, and they are 18 and 16 respectively.
