Wandering Along the Path: Right Speech

We waved goodbye to our son and grandson this afternoon, and our son just texted he'd received his second shot, so in two weeks he will have the immunity that will relax him and our daughter-in-law. It was a whirlwind two weeks, with our own mini-torando. He is a "pistol" as my dad would say (about me, in fact). We truly enjoyed them and the break from our routine, at least I did. My husband had more trouble with it, but adjusted pretty well. I've played a lot of "train", rescuing kittens, and deep space. I think my toddler skills at this point are first rate. But I'm grateful I can start getting organized for our trip north and see an R movie (in two weeks I've seen only Curious George, Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs" and "Shawn the Sheep Movie"). I need some grown up time. I can also have some phone conversations with other adults. Every time I turned around my grandson was running, falling, picking leaves off our plants or begging us to play. That is when he was released from schoolwork. It was like living with the Prisoner of Zenda. I definitely feel our bond was strengthened by the visit, and now I'll soon be off to bond more with the almost two year old grandson and almost teenage granddaughter (born on the same day). Yippee!
