Wandering Along the Path: Right Speech

My friend and I drove to our favorite toy store this morning; one that has mostly gently used toys. Their stock is amazing, plus they have decades old Fisher-Price, American girl dolls, handmade outfits for dolls, tons of used books and homemade doll beds, garages and the like. My friend was looking for her six month old granddaughter, and I was searching for stocking stuffers for the grandsons. I found playmobile people, Daniel Tiger figures, small zoo animals, card games and other delights. All I need now is a stop at See's candies for a few yummies. Then we were on a roll, so we hit the other toy store a few blocks down, and I got Xmas Prez figures, a stuffy Xmas tree, and a puzzle for my husband. My friend had gotten a kick out of a stuffed pineapple, and I bought it for her and we laughed. It is soft with fluffy leaves on top and I said it could be her holiday therapy. We topped everything off with a visit to our favorite nursery, where we oohed and aahed over the ornaments, and I bought a narcissus pot. The ornaments were gorgeous, but too pricey for us. We came home thrilled with our purchases. I can imagine the delight on the faces of my grandsons when they look in their stockings. I'm already feeling pleasure over their surprise.
