Jeanne & Ed's

Kevin brought amazing cookies and kept them in the corner away from me. He's guarding them.

Halfway through the evening I look out the window and spot Tom and Jeanne wandering around the backyard in the dark. "What are they doing out there!?"

"They're looking for Bonnie. Tom wanted to meet Jeanne's cat."

Most coveted gift: a hand-painted plate portraying a cat in a Girl Scout uniform.

Another gift item. And that's Shannon, my favorite writing pardner.
