Miranda's Nanny

On several different occasions I have been asked to come along and help care for my granddaughter Miranda. The first several took place when I accompanied my daughter Nancy to a professional meeting and stayed with her daughter during the day  The first two were in Florida, the last in Hawaii.  I go to Florida fairly regularly because my youngest daughter and her family live in St Augustine.  I doubt I would have traveled to Hawaii if not for accompanying Nancy.  At present I am staying in Salt Lake City at Nancy's home while she attends meetings in New York City. Miranda is now a young woman in junior high school and largely self regulates.  She tends to cling to her bed in the morning, a behavior that cost us a tour when we were on an Alaskan cruise.  However for the past two days she has made it into my car in time to be to school in time.  I am not in charge of feeding her.  My routine has been one meal a day around the middle of the day when she is not here and I currently only eat beef, somewhat extreme as a diet for a teen aged girl.  Today I attended the Salt Lake Temple which will soon be closed.  I doubt I would have taken the opportunity to see it in the final months before it is closed for renovation if it had not been for being here with Miranda.
