Sebastien looks like a miniature Harry Potter; he's in the second grade at Cambridge in the Spanish immersion program. Makken is an adorable four-year-old who goes to preschool at the zoo. Both are delightfully curious, bright, and affectionate, just like their mother and grandmother.
Today, Sebastien came over to show us his dog costume for a play at school on Friday. While he was here, Mike gave him a box of Dreamsicles, orange with vanilla ice cream.
Later, the two boys came over with gifts for Mike--hand-made thank you notes. Pam was here, having brought us a yummy dinner, and it turns out that Pam's great-nephew, Jack, and Sebastien are good friends.

When everyone left, Mike said, "You have a gift."
"What is it?" I asked.
"You pick the greatest people for friends! I just love your friends!"
I'm feeling fine--and relieved to have the surgery over. The doctor predicted that the next two days would be less easy, but who knows? I'm just going to take it easy this weekend and keep reading a good book Pam lent me: The Penny Poet of Portsmouth. This was my view of the Happy Deck under further construction this afternoon--as I spent the day in and out of sleep:
