The Ramey sisters met here at "Rowanwood" for supper Friday evening, and as soon as he could escape the Atlanta and I-20 traffic, Jed arrived. Susan brought brownies and ice cream, and I declare, I would ask her for the brownie recipe, except I would mess it up. Let Susan make the brownies, and I'll stick to cooking the beans and cornbread. Or whatever.
Jed brought his "Dixit" game, which we played after dinner. It was so much fun, we gathered again Saturday evening and played Dixit into the large hours.
I've got a drawer full of Timex and similar wrist-watches with dead batteries. Well, the drawer isn't full, but cluttered with 'em. Several weeks ago, Jed took my newest dead-battery watch, and the works out of my dollhouse grandfather clock, to Atlanta to get the batteries replaced. Apparently there's a mall over there where you can stand on the corner, look around you, and find a shop that does impossible things, like removing the backs of watches without using hammer and chisel. Anyway, he brought my timepieces back this weekend. I thank him. All my dollhouse dolls thank him.

Nick Hornby is great when he's great - and this is probably his best book. But you know that's what Hollywood will do when they get a hold of your books right?
Glad you enjoyed the game! I will look into getting another deck of cards for the next time I come over. And if you need new batteries in any of your other timepieces, just put them out the next time I come over. I went to a real jewelry store for your watch & dollhouse timepiece. They don't charge any more than the mall kiosks, and they are far less distracted.
See you again soon!!
Jed
'Twas fun, the weekend was.
