The Great Apes

The Great Apes
We have some really good friends who surprised us with some great news the other day. They're going to be grandparents.  They're overjoyed at the prospect of this little one coming along.  I really can't think of anything that would make them happier. 

As that thought was settling into my head and percolating, I remembered how their daughter (the expectant mother) was so enthralled with the great apes:  Bonobos, Gorillas, Chimpanzees and Orangutans.  She studied them at university and even spent some time working with them in South East Asia.  

I can't remember exactly what kind of apes she specialized in.  I remember being told many times.  That seems to happen more and more as I move on in years. Some things I thought I would never forget just fly out the window.  It's like the wind was blowing through my ears and sucked that bit of info right out of my head.  In it's place I am left with the impression of the information I used to have but not the substance.  

We were very glad to hear their news and we wish them all the luck we can muster for a happy and healthy family.   This little drawing is for them.

Hi Scott,

Thanks for your lovely words -- we are very excited.

Sophie studied Orang Utan in Borneo and Bonobo in the Congo so we are delighted she settled for James and a baby back home.

Great pic -- you should get Soph to show you her ape art work this summer

xx
