That time. Perhaps, however, the shock will not be too much for us. I washed the kitchen and bathroom curtains and windows in preparation, and I am planning a good feed. The rest of the entertainment will have to be talk mostly, I guess. Anne and Andy are talking down stairs. I wonder if you are listening to them too? They sound as though they might be pretty good to-night. I have not heard from Mrs. Andrew this Christmas. Usually she sends me something, a card anyway. I am wondering if she is not so well. I hope that she is not any worse. Is there anything I can do for you folks? Is the candy, or rather chopped fruits, all gone? I should like to make some more if you enjoy them. I have been eating a good deed of the Irish moss blanc mange lately and find it excellent for me. There is a good deal of the moss in that part of the cupboard under the bread tin, I believe. Don't you think you would like it? A little piece boiled in sweetened, flavored milk (1 pint) served with light-weight cream is good, I think. I used all I [[right margin]] had and so had to fall back on the commercial product which is not so good. All good wishes Love, Lena. [[/right margin]]
