granddaughter time

My youngest granddaughter is a sophomore at Rice University in Houston. Her schedule worked for me to fly to Houston from Arkansas to have a visit.

We made plans for our afternoon together.

It began with lunch. We met at a local restaurant, Kâu Ba. Over lunch we began our 5-hour chat.

We talked about all the things going on in her life. Classes. A new job. Housing for next year. Study abroad this summer. On and on.

I found such delight in her smile as she talked.

After lunch we walked down the block to the coffee shop/bakery, Common Bond.

Coffee in hand, we Ubered to the Rice campus I’m a huge Uber fan, especially when I come to the big city to visit. The conversations I’ve had with the drivers are so interesting.

A short walk to Moody Museum for the exhibit Hayv Kahraman: The Foreign in Us. Gut Feelings. It was about the microbes within our body – those that harm us. We actually found some of it thought provoking.

Next up was the basketball game. Rice has a player who is remarkable and is quite the scorer. I was anxious to see her play. Sadly, she did not suit up for play. Other players were on fire!
