Rain + Thursday = Better

Thursday, January 26, 2012

“Why is God raining mud pie?” Puck asked, shortly upon waking.
Collette had only moments ago explained that he and Luke would not be allowed to play outside, given the status of the backyard. “Mud Soup”, she told him.
The rain continued to fall steadily for part of the morning.

The kid who would read a year and a day without looking up from the bookshelf, spent a quick Quiet Hour in such a manner.
Mom and Linnea had arrived with French fries, just before Luke and Leia made their appearance, with a stack of hefty books about the ocean, space, history, etc.
“I LOVE history!” Luke declared to Mom.

3:30 had come and gone, and Puck was set on packing up the cigar case from his papa to bring to his grandma’s and nana’s houses…
“Ten pairs of socks and my hat and my scarf and a bow tie…” he counted off the items stuffed inside. [Not really so much…]

And Collette knocked out more work that night over half-watching 1 1/3 Yul Brynner fugitive-war flicks.
