Looking respectfully at yr granddad
The late 20s looked good on my grandparents as well. & those lilies! My gosh!
I loved Robert Benchley growing up. Dad used to read it to us kids and some parts we got, and some parts we didn’t. The parts we didn’t resulted in funny looks between our two parents.
My mom gave me The Benchley Roundup when I was about seven. I was lucky in many ways.
