Well we had our breakfast early enough for the season but we lingered at the table and visited for it is J.E.'s last meal with us. he returns to college life today. Then we had our much loved morning worship. All of which uses up the morning hours. Anna an diary are chatting in Anna's room who ought to be taking her constitutional.
