When does he arrive? ʲʱ 
At six o'clock this evening. 㡣

No, by train.  𳵡 
Are we picking him up at the station? Ҫȥվ  
Not Grandpa. үү 
He doesn't want anybody picking him up. Ըñ  
He likes to be independent. Ժǿ

I'm really excited about seeing Grandpa. һ뵽Ҫү Ҿ;˷ܡ 
Me, too. Milk, please. Ҳһ뵵 ţ̡ 
He's so funny. ܶȤ 
He always makes me laugh. Ц 
I hope Grandpa's going to like living with us. ϣүүϲ סһ 
I think he will. ġ 
It just takes time to feel comfortable in a new place. Ҫһʱ ӦһµĻ 
Won't he miss being in Florida?   
Well, he will. ġ 
But I think he'll like being here with the family. Ҳϲ ȫס 
But I think he'll like being here with the family. Ҳϲ ȫס 
Are you sure about that?  
It's crazy here most of the time. ֡ 
But it's fun. Ȥ 
That's for sure. ˵Ҳǡ 
You know, ˵ 
maybe I'll put together some photos of Grandpa Ұүү һЩƬ 
as a "welcome" present. Ϊӭһ  
That's a neat idea. Ǹ 
What can I do? ʲ 
I've got it!  
I have a picture of Grandpa and Dad and me in my wallet. Ƥ һ үү ְֺһյġ 
It's from the Fathers and Sons' Breakfast ڸ粲ͻ ĵ 
at my junior high school graduation. ҳбҵ ʱ 
Oh, I remember this picture.  һǵ Ƭ 
I'd really like to pick up Grandpa at the railroad station. ȥվ үү 
Railroad stations or airports-- ǻվ  
Grandpa always tells us he'll get here by himself. үү˵ 跨  
He's something! ˲ 
Is this all Grandpa's stuff?  涼ү Ķ 
That's it. ǵġ 
But I'm sure he has a few bags with him on the train.  ϻмġ 
What's inside?  ʲ 
What's inside?  ʲ 
I don't know. It's locked. ֪ ء 
Hi.  
Oh, hi, darling. Ŷ װġ 
Morning, Philip. 簲 Philip 
I want to put some of my good hangers in Grandpa's closet. үү³ żõ¼ܡ 
You know I'm very excited about his arrival. ֪Ҷĵ Ƕ˷ܡ 
We are, too. Ҳ˷ 
Susan called early this morning. Susanһ绰 
She's unhappy ܲ 
because she's had to go to Chicago on a business trip Ϊõ֥ Ӹ 
and can't leave till tonight. Ҫ  
She wants to be here for Grandpa. ԭϣڴ˵ үү 
Well, Grandpa will be disappointed, too. үүҲе  
He loves Susan. ϲSusan 
She always reminds him of Grandma. Susan 
Well, how's everything here?    
Fine. We were just wondering about this trunk.  ֻء 
It's locked.  
Oh. I have the key. Grandpa sent it to me. Կ үүҵġ 


He doesn't want anybody picking him up. 
He likes to be independent. 
I think that's good. 
He's got his own way of doing things. 
He likes to take care of himself. 
I guess you're right. 
He's so funny. He always makes me laugh. 
I guess he has a good sense of humor. 
Yeah, I bet he's a lot of fun. 
Grandpa always tells us he'll get here by himself. 
He's something. 
In my opinion, he's a very special man. What do you think? 
Well, I believe I'm going to like him. But... 
But what? 
Won't he miss being in Florida? 
Well, he will. But I think he'll like being here with the family. 
I suppose he'll miss his home in Florida and his independence. 
I suppose you're right. But what about you? 
What do you think? 
What kind of man is Grandpa? 
What do you imagine he's like? 
Why is he moving away from Florida? 
And how does he feel about moving to Riverdale? 
What do you think? 
Let's see.
