Wandering Along the Path: Right Speech

My granddaughter, who is visiting, is wearing a pair of my sandals I gave her.  She is eleven, and wears the same shoe size as I do.  She's changing in many ways, and will begin junior high this fall.  We shopped with her aunt this morning, and she picked out some great clothes, still in children's sizes, but near the end of that road.  This afternoon we're going with my foster granddaughter, who is about to turn 14, for dinner and looking in the pet shop, toy store, and sweet shop.  These are local places we've been to a hundred times, and are revisiting for old times sake.  Figuring out what to do and how it will change these next few years is challenging, but I have a road map because of my foster granddaughter.  I'm thinking of the county fair, a museum, and showing her the university campus, as she says she wants to attend it.  Who knows what will happen between now and college, but since she's interested, we'll see it.  I just love having time with her.  She's a dear heart, and easy to be with.
