I had a nice afternoon with my foster granddaughter. First she bungled around the schoolyard for twenty minutes, then we went to the library and she found some books. We were looking for dog training books, because she is getting a dog Friday. It is a beagle/terrier mix. Then we went to a pet store to check out the kittens and bunnies. I fell in love with a white cockatoo who was really social and responsive. She was white with yellow under her wings and tail, and could fluff up her "do" and was listening attentively to everything I said. That's the first time I've been so attracted to a bird. We bought some treats and two toys for the new dog and two toys for my dogs. Then we checked out the toy store and the book store. We found a dog training book and a chapter book for her about being a vet, and I bought the new Louise Penny mystery. Then we headed home and played a 45 minute game of UNO - she won - and she collected snails from my front porch for her snail collection - I was happy to lend her some of mine, and we watched part of one of our favorite films "Ramona and Beezus" and then I drove her home, where her baby sister yelled "Mom!" loudly, her new achievement.
Then my husband and I had salads and watched the Obama interview on PBS. I retired to our bedroom to read my mystery and relax. A nice day.
