Our Little Visiting Friend

Here's the thing about having a niece all to ourselves for three-days-two-nights in the summer.

It had never happened to us before.

And we loved it.

We showed our young friend *all* the New London sights . . .

. . . the murals . . .

New London is chock-full of outdoor art.

. . . the bars . . .

. . . shhhhhhhhhh, don't tell her mom . . .

. . . but she may have gotten a good education . . .

. . . the Book Barn . . .

Of course Uncle Mistah Blue Eyes took young Ms. Boogsie Blue Eyes to the Book Barn . . .

. . . very Alice in Wonderland, no?

. . . yeah, I know.

And, naturally, Ocean Beach.

Oh, how we adore Ocean Beach.

And the only thing better than going to Ocean Beach?

Going to Ocean Beach with our little visiting friend.

Ach, my heart. Love, love, love, love, love, love, lovity love.

What the heck is Johnny Slips teaching her? Are those betting slips (is that why you call him that?) bev naps? bar tabs?

These are really cool photos, my baby girl is going to love this almost as much as her mama does.
