Wandering Along the Path: Right Speech

The best laid plans, etc., etc.  Our older daughter went up to our cabin with our granddaughter to meet friends and the forest service had somehow decided to take down dead trees during the holidays, despite many families using their cabins then.  She couldn't get the car up our road; it was blocked.  Then the noise, now today the huge crane is at our cabin.  Also, they were all going sledding, but with the drought:  no snow.  They drove toward the pass to find some, but there was hardly any.  Now, our younger daughter, husband and son are not driving up today to meet them because the noise is likely to keep the little one from being able to nap.  She sounds cheerful, despite it all, but they head down today, a day early.  Enough is enough.  Flexibility is one goal when you parent.  I'm happy to see our kids have it in spades.
