The last two days I have had meetings at work where I wouldn’t be home at the usual time to let Jane leave on time. As it takes her an hour to get home, I try not to keep her late. I made arrangements with the Coopers in #7 for Jane to take Lexi there when it was time for her to go home. You can tell that Lexi spends a lot of time at the Coopers with their 3 kids (one is 4 months older than her and they get along great). When I arrived to get her yesterday, she was happily sweeping the floor. (Yes, she does that at home too.) And then she runs around after Freddie or he after her and they play with this and that and just seem to have a ball. Freddie has a bath every night at 5:30 so as Wednesday is Lexi’s bath night, too, they thought the two kids could have their bath together. Jane tells me that Lexi was not interested. But she did get cleaned up anyway.
Tonight when I arrived they were just sitting down to dinner. So I ate with them. I felt like quite a mooch but it was nice to have dinner with some adults. I have only cooked 1 meal for myself since Stephen has been gone and have had leftovers otherwise. Then the next two nights we have dinner ‘dates’. Lexi happily goes wherever. Now she is sitting on the floor reading magazines – another favorite pastime.

I suspect they were glad to have you mooch. I think somewhere in life debts get paid, maybe even to someone else entirely. I hope you enjoyed yourself.
