Bubbles!

Saturday, January 10, 2009

Out to the Silverspoon’s again where Gloria was already preparing lunch.
It was cold again, after the mild temperatures of the previous afternoon. Snow began to fall around twelve that day.
By mid-afternoon, OLeif and Collette left for Nicodemus Salthouse’s surprise 50th birthday party in co-celebration with Megan, who had just graduated from Rolla, and had also become recently engaged.
The house was full. Ivy hurried back and forth between tables and counters, stirring two giant crock pots of chili with all the fixings, mini sandwiches, coffee, ice tea, many platters of crackers and cheeses, coolers of sodas, and two large iced cakes.
And before leaving, Collette had about ten minutes to speak with Freja Toast, whom she hadn’t seen in a long time.
After returning to the Silverspoon’s (where Curly had already left to join the others at the Art Musem), Puck was ready for a bubble bath in the tub while everyone else continued the extended Dr. Who marathon.
“Bubbles! Bubbles!” Puck called out happily, running into the living room, trying to pull off his shirt.
Baths were no longer a thing of terror.
