I'm getting E-mails from back home saying that things are heating up between the two mothers-in-law. Coney is the issue, of course, and the good thing is that she herself seems happily oblivious to the conflict. (As long as Coney has a full belly, she's happy!)
It's interesting that Gran, with so many grandchildren, is taking such an interest in this one...more than she ever did with me, adopted or not! I mean, she went so far as to return from the Wild; that's a huge lifestyle change. It may be that she regards Coney's dietary preference as a challenge. If so, she's going to be disappointed.
Elanor, meanwhile, is making progress under Gran's therapy, not that she's willing to admit it.
Through all this, my folks are trying to stay non-partisan; a difficult thing to do in these times.
