April 26

Collette started her morning of chores with Iranian radio.
While she folded the laundry, she found a brass key and a packet of Chinese hot sauce mixed in with the clothes.
OLeif was considering learning Krav Maga.
Puck tried to eat “The Velveteen Rabbit” and would occasionally perform what Collette liked to call the “moon crawl”.
Bristol was leaving for Officer’s Training School, May 6th. So Aunt Tuuli was hosting a party for him that afternoon before he left. Nerissa was already over three months along with the twins.
Travis was also there, Grandma Snicketts, Grandpa Snicketts and Martha, Aunt Galena, Uncle Hilario and Aunt Corliss… Another afternoon in New Town. Puck helped himself to dinner after Collette played a half-round of Battleship with Linnea on the front porch.
Barbecue, potato salad, macaroni, fruit salad. Puck loved it all.
