I seem to see your face.

Then we went home ...

Good night.
Good night.Good night!

Being Friday the second day of June, 2017 ...

Roger mentioned this eating utensil once more ...


They dined on mince and slices of quince ...

When I go to sleep at night,
don't you call my name.

Mave announced where she might be sleeping tonight ...


I will lay my head tonight ...

"It's been a good year," sang Conor about his garden ...


But the lawn could stand another mowing.

Mike considered hydrology, looking for something deeper ...


Well, well, well ...

So we went home ...




in complete silence!
