7PM I’m embroidering a quote from the Tempest. Seems only right. It’s a pillow case:
"Yea, all which it inherit, shall dissolve,
And, like this insubstantial pageant faded,
Leave not a rack behind. We are such stuff
As dreams are made on; and our little life
Is rounded with a sleep."
Dinner! Hannah and Grace get sandwiches!! It’s sandwich Saturday!
