At the bottom of my grandmother's truck my Father unearthed a box: It is beautifully illustrated and in very good condition, considering the age.

What I *didn’t* do *this* year:

I was holding Miss Moppet this evening after Father left for Vespers. She had woken up after a long nap soaked and was not happy that I insisted on putting a dry diaper and clothes on her before nursing her. After nursing she was bright-eyed and bushy-tailed. I held her and looked into her eyes … Continue reading Thank you
