Joe was sort of busy. Not a lot but still somewhat as he fixed a few dinners that he hoped someone might enjoy. He had some Corned beef and cabbage of course. People expected that on this time of year. He also had Italian roast beef for sandwiches with peppers. Mashed potatoes, baked potatoes, stuffed potatoes and sweet potatoes were all an option along with various beans and of course deserts more than he could think about. shed

” BAH!” He slowed down his work. He was worried sick over his little friend D’Nesh. She had disappeared into that scallywag dentist’s office long ago. In the interim he had hung pretties from the walls of her room. Every bright color that clashed. He had found a lot of ribbons. None of them matched. It was the sort of thing she would love. If she ever got back from that card shark.
