Orphans Redux

It was a particularly wonderful T-day for the orphans this year. It was warm, and the walks on country roads were made without jackets. Children have grown up, and can now converse civilly with their parents. There is some indication, unconfirmed as yet, the third generation of orphans is begun. Friendships have grown, faded, mellowed and returned. Despite the absence of my own daughters (who had other fish to fry) and the illness of the hostess; and possibly partly due to the absence of Ex, it was a lovely time and I'm happy to report Harry had fun too.

  1. Harry had lots of fun and enjoys being a part of this select (elect) group. Either way, the house was beautiful, and the woods were exhilarating as they can be this time of year if it is not too cold. On T-Night Sallie and I and another orphan took a walk in the dark with dapples of moonlight here and there. It was great!
