Our summer vacation began in Maryland visiting Emily’s family. Grammy Carolyn made us a wonderful dinner including a mixed green salad with avocado slices which I had several helpings. After a long day of traveling, a nourishing salad is just what I need. For dessert there were mixed berries, spongecake and whip cream. Uncle John, who is a children’s librarian, bonded quickly with Jasmine, getting her giggling and playing with his silly faces and antics. Grammy Carolyn soothed Jasmine to sleep with a nice bedtime story.
