Wandering Along the Path: Right Speech

Today we drove in separate cars with our younger daughter and her two boys to a garden an hour away. We were relieved when we arrived to note only a couple of cars, and indeed, there were few people, with everyone wearing masks and being careful. Our four year old grandson loved the lights and even in daytime, they were beautiful. There were many Christmas trees, some huge, with giant ornaments. He was fascinated. After, at the gift shop, he picked out an ornament for their tree and I bought him a decoration with bells. We were even able to have lunch outside safely. We all loved getting away, and it upped our spirits considerably. Even the baby was smiley and ate all his lunch. We topped it off with a chocolate leftover from Halloween. We're under threat of further lockdown, so perhaps the garden will close. We will endure whatever we have to, but going SOMEWHERE, ANYWHERE is a great mental health aid. And for any age. We had three generations on extactly the same page.
