Grandma had always adamantly maintained that she had gone on a solo trip to Paris. But no one believed her, in the absence of any evidence. She would tell anyone who cared to listen that she had taken a beautiful shot of The Eiffel Tower. Though it was taken from quite a distance, it offered quite a view of the Eiffel Tower, the Pont d’Iéna, and the Seine set against the dark sky! All thanks to the lockdown induced deep cleansing, we finally uncovered the evidence – an old, faded photograph! Grandma finally got to say, “I told you so!”

Yay! for Grandma 🙂 I’ve noticed a lot of people are putting old furniture out for garbage pickup; more big bags than usual. There’s a whole lot of cleaning going on 🙂
