After demonstrating how to change the air filters to me, Grandpa returned to his labors in the garden.
Grandma observed me outside examining the air conditioning unit and instructed me to come over when I was finished.
She wished to share with me some homemade chocolate chip cookies. Grandpa told me to enter the house and eat, or he would have to do so himself, and I laughed. Grandma inquired as to whether Grandpa had shown me how to replace the air filters. Grandma snorted in response to my nodding and remark that he knew a great deal. She informed me that he learned it all from her. She would have never met him if she had not been a Heating and Air Conditioning supplier. When she met him, he was a skinny young man who resided in an old house. He contacted the Heating and Air Conditioning dealer to have a modern boiler installed in his parent’s residence. She informed me that she had gone to the location to take measurements and ensure that the proper boiler was purchased for their needs. Because she was a female, he refused to let her into the house. After she presented him with her credentials, he initially treated her as a man, but he quickly changed his mind. She explained that it was her enticing smile that won him over, and by that time he could not live without her. I walked slowly back to the house and asked my mother if she knew that my grandmother was an HVAC technician. The mother chuckled and acknowledged her understanding. Because she was working on the school’s Heating and Air Conditioning system, Grandma was unable to attend her graduation.
