Oh look…. Walter has the lifeboat set up to play “Saved from capsizing” again!

Catherine and Dexter are so lucky!

And Walter is such a hero!

Wait…. what’s that?

Catherine doesn’t want to play at being rescued today?

Oh my.

I thought they played this game every Friday and Tuesday.

And Walter has already set it up so nicely.

I’d hate to see him disappointed.

You know, I’d stay and play it myself….

if I didn’t have … um… well… someplace to go.

Does anybody else want to stay and pl….

I see….

Well, yes, we are on the way to the library to talk about Cleo….

Another time, Walter….

I’m sure everybody will stay, some other day,

and Catherine will probably want to by Tuesday.

What’s Dexter’s problem, anyway?

Well, what is it Rotty? KA-WHUMP or FLOOP?

Catherine and Dexter, you are party poopers.

When I was a teen, we would tunnel under the overturned lifeboats on the beach at night, for some blessed privacy. No cinder blocks!

I will be in LA for a few days for my son’s MA ceremony. Commenting on my Kindle, especially for Cleo, is inconvenient, so I am sure you will shed tears over my absence. Just don’t party too hard on Ballard Street. Sheriff, keep an eye on this bunch!

Now what would make you think that, Claude?

I don’t think they’ll be missed by Walter

Ah! The joys of shopping at IKEA. I’m glad the nearest store to us is in Salt Lake City!

Claude’s a carpenter after my own heart! On one of my projects I had a shelf that, if I cut it one way would be a disaster. I could cut it four other ways and get away with it — guess what I did…

My husband tells me they throw in a few extras -— until it falls apart, of course. Time to start over, Claude.
