Deen-oh

One of the great pleasures in life is to be able to see regularly some of our friends that have kids. This week, I had the pleasure of having dinner with Juliette and Evie. Sometimes, when I get a call, it's Juliette and she asks, "are you coming over for 'deen-oh'?" Usual activities include playing, reading books and of course mandatory bedtime hugs & kisses. On this particular evening, Juliette wanted to read to me, "The Ugly 'W'egetables" a very endearing book by Grace Lin about a neighborhood that comes together to share flowers and ugly vegetables soup, and the young gardener learns that regardless of appearances, everything has its own beauty and purpose.
