A Rather Dramatic Bunch

Tuesday, December 27, 2005

(10:48am) As it happened, Wally thoroughly enjoyed “Muppets Treasure Island” and laughed enough to shake the couch, along with Magnus, Molly, Starr, Rose, OLeif, and Collette. Joe eventually left for the upstairs to play “Need for Speed” with Curly, Izzy, and Frances. Meanwhile, there were fresh home-baked cookies from Lace Hobcoggin, hot chocolate, and chocolates left over from Ivy’s Birthday/Christmas/New Years gift to Collette.

And after biting into a caramel Nestle crunch chocolate, Magnus began hopping up and down in excitement.

“This is amazing!” He told Starr. “Chocolate caramel crunch!”

The whole evening tended a bit towards the dramatic, and in the end, they decided to leave the boys to spend the night with Joe and Frances. Although they did drop Magnus back off at his house, who had, no doubt, inspirations to write. And on the way to return Starr and Molly, OLeif rallied on about communion and memorial-ness, the ride of the King on his white horse to battle, and other wonderful theological expositions on such amazing things.

Meanwhile, another OLeif-ism had popped up during the afternoon: “Hmmm… you’re a tasty tart,” he said, giving Collette a hug.

And another discovery had been made of the Canadians, who were gone, doubtless to Canada for the holidays. A package had been left on their doorstep from Ontario, with the girl’s name printed on the outside, direct from Canada – to Nhung McGowan.

“An Irish-Korean-Canadian!” Collette exclaimed, upon seeing the package.
