It has been 10 months since I last saw her, which is certainly not because I didn&#8217;t want to see her; it was a negative consequence of our decision to wander around New England this summer.  It wasn&#8217;t until we got to Littleton that we were within an hour of her and the timing for that stay just didn&#8217;t work. But Oakham is just 30 minutes from her home, so we finally got together.<\/p>\n<p>I just about didn&#8217;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.<\/p>\n<p>We didn&#8217;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 <a href=\"http:\/\/blackandwhitegrille.com\/\">Black &#038; White Grille<\/a> and a McDonald&#8217;s breakfast.  Jett taught her a new card game.  Quiet pleasures.<\/p>\n<p><div id=\"attachment_5093\" style=\"width: 210px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ourwanderyears.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/0722171430.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-5093\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5093\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ourwanderyears.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/0722171430-200x300.jpg\" alt=\"Playing mini golf\" width=\"200\" height=\"300\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-5093\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ourwanderyears.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/0722171430-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.ourwanderyears.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/0722171430-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.ourwanderyears.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/0722171430-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/www.ourwanderyears.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/0722171430-100x150.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.ourwanderyears.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/0722171430-400x600.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-5093\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Playing mini golf<\/p><\/div><div id=\"attachment_5095\" style=\"width: 210px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ourwanderyears.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/0722172107.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-5095\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5095\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ourwanderyears.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/0722172107-200x300.jpg\" alt=\"With Rusty\" width=\"200\" height=\"300\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-5095\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ourwanderyears.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/0722172107-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.ourwanderyears.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/0722172107-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.ourwanderyears.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/0722172107-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/www.ourwanderyears.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/0722172107-100x150.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.ourwanderyears.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/0722172107-400x600.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-5095\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">With Rusty<\/p><\/div><\/p>\n<p><div id=\"attachment_5091\" style=\"width: 210px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ourwanderyears.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/0722171031.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-5091\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5091\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ourwanderyears.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/0722171031-200x300.jpg\" alt=\"In a super-sized chair\" width=\"200\" height=\"300\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-5091\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ourwanderyears.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/0722171031-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.ourwanderyears.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/0722171031-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.ourwanderyears.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/0722171031-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/www.ourwanderyears.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/0722171031-100x150.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.ourwanderyears.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/0722171031-400x600.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-5091\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">In a super-sized chair<\/p><\/div><div id=\"attachment_5092\" style=\"width: 210px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ourwanderyears.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/0722171251a.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-5092\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5092\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ourwanderyears.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/0722171251a-200x300.jpg\" alt=\"Swimming\" width=\"200\" height=\"300\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-5092\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ourwanderyears.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/0722171251a-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.ourwanderyears.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/0722171251a-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.ourwanderyears.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/0722171251a-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/www.ourwanderyears.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/0722171251a-100x150.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.ourwanderyears.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/0722171251a-400x600.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-5092\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Swimming<\/p><\/div><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I finally got to spend some time with my granddaughter, Liliani, on Saturday.
