She arrives, wearing these.
She toddles into the office all smiles, as if to say,
"Hey, Uncle Stan, look who's here!"
Playing in Uncle Stan's truck is so much fun.
A stroll around the cul-de-sac and she's all smiles.
Back inside, she gazes out the window, offering her own brand of commentary on everything that's going on.
She doesn't miss a thing.
At my request, she brought her swimsuit.
Uncle Stan tries to coax her into the sprinkler.
It was a new idea, but she was open to it.
At least once.
Even Diesel was open to new ideas.
Then it was time to find a dry spot and just relax
... in the grass
... me and my sugar plum
... on this fine day.
