to do tomorrow

• Go to Mass - then check out the creche on the corner. The Flower Fairy told me that there appears to be a clown doll that has been placed there. It has finally crept into the spot reserved for the baby Jesus. Why didn't she stop in the office and mention it? It's been bothering her for three days..........
  
  
• Run to post office. Mail "Big Blue," Dave's security blanket, back to him. It was overlooked in the chaos of exchanging kids, dufflebags etc. in the loading zone of the Madison Hilton. Didn't notice it for about fifteen minutes........we had to stop on the east side of town to 'visit Mrs. Murphy' and "Big Blue" fell out of the back seat. I hope Karen's trip home (about twice as long as ours) wasn't too miserable with a distraught little fellow.
  
  
• Put house back together. Or a close approximation thereof.
  
  
• Find a picture book of English royalty and try to identify two of the Old English Royalty ornaments that Karen gave me as a thank you gift. Henry VIII, Elizabeth I, Victoria, Richard (the LionHearted?) are obvious, but two evade me and I don't want to 'name' them and plant wrong ideas in the boys' minds. I thought of the whole wrong idea thing as we passed through Wales, WI tonight. When I was a child, this was the home of the Wisconsin Juvenile Correctional Facility (perhaps it still is). But I was under the impression, for the longest time (too long), that our state was sending juvenile offenders off to the UK, maybe to work in coal mines or something. It didn't make sense - but the newspaper was always mentioning young hoodlums being sent to Wales. If the Journal said they were going to Wales, well, they were going to Wales. Case closed. It never did mention them coming home singing "Men of Harlech".........that should have been a clue.
