Wandering Along the Path: Right Speech

We celebrated our son-in-law's birthday last night and we were all thrilled to eat dinner INSIDE. The little boys, one and four, loved the balloons, beads and hot wheels cars, and both ate the "cake" a key lime pie. The boys like crusts. My daughter looked nice in a skirt, which reminded me I could have dressed up a bit, but I'm so out of practice I forgot. The little guys were good through dinner, though the four year old wanted us to hurry up and finish eating so we could have cake. After, he danced around the living room with his balloons and necklaces, and even tried a break dance move, copied from his year older cousin. We didn't have the rest of the family, but still, it felt more like before covid. Today I talked with a dear friend from graduate school and got tips on how to find a puppy. They just closed the deal on one, and she was going out after to buy leashes, dog toys and treats. I believe this fall we will look for one ourselves. And it's sunny today, so everything seems more possible.
