Ben at Home

Mr. Franklin is now feeling at home on my bookshelf. I found him
in the discount museum shop at the Philadelphia Museum of Art.
Elspeth got a white one. Of course, since we were both buying odd
objects, they were completely out of shopping bags. We ended up
carrying around our Franklins the rest of the afternoon and giving
people a good chuckle.

Sam arranged Mr. Franklin in the easy chair early Monday morning
before heading off to work, which was a very amusing sight, especially
before coffee. Elspeth let out an operatic scream and I hopped a few
feet in the air.

We are having a lovely time time with our daughter, who rarely has
the chance to be home. We are chatting nonstop, shopping, laughing,

cooking and eating. I am anxious to tell you all about the Kahlo exhibit.

So stay tuned.
