When we arrived at home Maya’s first priority was to greet and play with Nala who was very happy to see her. After that joyful reunion, Maya’s next priority was to check on the garden. She returned triumphantly with the season’s first carrot which we promptly cleaned and ate. Through Jeanine’s teaching and nurturing she has passed the family’s long tradition of gardening to the next generation. Maya and I spent the afternoon doing laundry and packing for our upcoming southwest adventure. We then had a father/daughter date night which included dinner out and the latest Harry Potter movie.
