Wandering Along the Path: Right Speech

Yesterday was our 45th wedding anniversary.  We had already had the big to-do the weekend before, so when our son-in-law asked if we wanted to do something with him and our grandson, I suggested the train museum.  We left early morning and got there right as the museum opened.  Our grandson was in his pajama shirt, with a dirty face, and his father had not had breakfast or showered and was in his clothes from the day before.  Why?  Our daughter is on a three day trip to see a friend.  I bet he will appreciate her more when she returns.  It was cute and funny, and I had wisely packed a water bottle and snacks for my grandson.  He has a runny nose and cough, but was thrilled to see train cars and tracks, and go through some of the cars:  dining car, sleeper car, freight car, and ultra modern car.  Then we saw them unloading a Thomas the Engine car, wooden, for the play area upstairs.  But his most fun activity was the toy cars upstairs, where he played with the toy trains.  We had to pull him away.  When we returned home late afternoon, we felt tired, so we didn't eat out.  I made pasta and we opened a bottle of white wine and watched "The Batchelor and the Bobby Soxer" with Cary Grant, Myrna Loy and Shirley Temple.  Grand and Loy are a couple with major chemistry, and seeing them in action is fun.  That was our romantic moment of the day.
