Upon the Return to the US

Panda and Grad Bear went with us to Spain, Gibraltar and Portugal. When they came home Jolene  wanted to talk to Grad and ask whether he had remained sober and celibate on the trip. Of course Grad took offense at the question, "Honey, how could you ask that, you know we are engaged?" Jolene accepted that 'answer'.

Panda was, in the meantime, working on depositing the cash and checks (those are deposit slips he is holding) he got from selling "Genuine Art LLC" acquisitions to people in Europe.  A lot of the sales were of paintings by important Christian Saints (Dominic, Francis) and the foreigners were delighted since they had no idea those Saints did art too. Our Spain, etc. trip is blogged here.
