Secondhand joy

 Bern talks with our 7 year old granddaughter on zoom 3 or 4 times a week.

I'm usually here, in my office and hear them down in the TV room, but just voices.

Today, Bern is in the kitchen on her phone and I can hear everything.

Our granddaughter sings more than talks--and like her mother and grandmother--sings well.

Listening to them gives me second-hand joy.

That joy is not to be underrated....

Joy....
