Wandering Along the Path: Right Speech

There is wind again today, and so everyone is jumpy. My friend and I walked anyway, but I'm a bit frazzled by it. We stopped by See's Candies so we could get a treat for my two grandsons I'll see this weekend and her almost granddaughter who is a teen. I also bought peppermint candies for my sweet tooth husband and a few sugar free toffees. She picked up something for her partner. We do errands on our way on our walks, so she stopped in a fish market to buy salmon, and later she left me to get milk at the grocery seven houses from me. It's supposedd to be 72 degrees today, which is great except for the fire/drought component. My husband and I are searching for a place to stay for our anniversary, but it's pricey. We can't quite decide, as we've been to every reasonably distanced area to drive to in a couple of hours or less. That's what we get for being married 48 years. And I am going with my daughter, her husband and boys this weekend to the cabin, so my son-in-law can begin to teach the five year old how to ski. I'll help out with the boys and just have a get-away. I don't love the cold or winter anymore, but I've not really had time with the boys in a while. And my daughter has been so overwhelmed with teaching she hasn't had a minute to do anything, but this week she is off and yesterday we went out to lunch and shopped a bit, finding birthday gifts for the about-to-be two year old, a shirt for each of us and some Christmas sale goodies at Sur La Table. It was so nice to have time with her again.
