November 19

It was the day that Mr. and Mrs. English finally left for China to bring home their new six year-old son. They would be gone for over two weeks.

Collette was feeling somewhat poorly, similar to the cold she had caught in September, when it had also been gray and cool.
So she and Puck read books together, where Puck was always asking about certain things being on this ‘pehdge’ (page) or that ‘pehdge’.
Then Collette played various renditions of the Brandenburg Concertos on her laptop for him, while Puck raided his toy box for a few hours around sitting practice and a slice of buttered bread for a mid-morning snack.
“Don’t, little toys!” he scolded them, when some of them rolled off the couch. “They could break!”

In the early afternoon, the sun returned.

And that evening, the four settled around the television for comedy night with a Meat Lover’s Pizza and a box of cosmic brownies.
