A visit from Liliani

I finally got to spend some time with my granddaughter, Liliani, on Saturday. It has been 10 months since I last saw her, which is certainly not because I didn’t want to see her; it was a negative consequence of our decision to wander around New England this summer. It wasn’t until we got to Littleton that we were within an hour of her and the timing for that stay just didn’t work. But Oakham is just 30 minutes from her home, so we finally got together.

I just about didn’t recognize her. She has grown about 6 inches in those 10 months. And cut her hair. She is now a young woman. But still very sweet, very shy. She is always a pleasure to have around. Which is more than can be said for many 11-year-olds.

We didn’t do anything super exciting. We went to the pool, played miniature golf, wandered around the campground, had a chicken tender lunch, dinner at the Black & White Grille and a McDonald’s breakfast. Jett taught her a new card game. Quiet pleasures.
