Wandering Along the Path: Right Speech

I had a lovely day yesterday, attending my daughter-in-law's baby shower with my daughter and other daughter-in-law.  The mother-to-be looked beautiful and so very happy.  Then I played with my two grandsons for a couple of hours at my daughter's house.  I came home and read until we went to our dear friends' newly renovated house for dinner.  We hadn't gotten together in a while, and it was great to catch up.  It was a day of connection.  In between, my older son, his wife and our older grandson went to my favorite bookstore, seven houses away, and we each picked out a fairy series for the grandson, as he is very big on fairies these days.  He went home with three sets of seven books.  I did this with my granddaughter and foster granddaughter, so its my tradition, and last year we had a scare that the bookstore would close, but neighbors invested in it to keep it open.  It's a mystery/scifi/fantasy bookstore, with a huge inflatable dragon out front.  Inside is chaos, but cosy, with books spilling from everywhere and stacked on the floors.  You have to go up narrow stairs to the second floor to get to the children's books, but the owner has everything you can imagine and didn't know was ever written.  We got down on our bellies to find the fairy shelf, and there were many complete sets just on that topic.  It's a magical mystery tour, that bookstore, and I treasure it.
