For this past week we have been entertaining our granddaughter Sophie and her parents. It was a great to have them here for a good long visit, as we see them so rarely now. (Thank goodness for FaceTime). At the beginning of the week the weather was perfect and we imagined spending lots of time outside, but then the smoke came and every day was worse, so we had to think of indoor amusements. It was lucky that we got Sophie down to the beach while the sun was out. She threw rocks and walked on logs, attended closely by her ever-faithful Papa.
