Day Seven Hundred and Eighty Nine

Miss Pancake 

My goodness me. 

Everybody was all awake even when it was all dark outside.

Because it was today that my friend Emmet got their very own floppy hat.

And I saw him right on the big television, and he was still in Ireland. My goodness me. 

And he had his floppy hat on. 

I was very happy about that hat. 

And a man gave him the very important piece of paper. Ha. 

And then everybody went outside and Zita and Eileen met all of the professors, who teach there too. 

They were right out in front of that very old university. Ha. 

And then Zita and Auntie Eileen went to hear Emmet teach all his own students. My goodness me.

She was very very happy.

I know that, because she talked to me on, Craig’s flat computer. Ha.

Then Zita and Auntie Eileen found the same train that brought them to Cork and it took them back to Dublin.

I think it went backwards to get there. Ha. That is a silly train. 

After we watched Emmet on the television we went back to sleep. 

And when it was all sunshiney again we got dressed and had our together breakfast. 

Except for Craig he was still asleep.

Then Niamh went to Tarryn’s lovely shop to help make it beautiful for the Merry Christmas time. 

But she came home right after I had my lunch. 

Miss Dina slept here last night. 

Because last night when they finished cooking their tasty snacks it was very late. 

I just went into our bedroom and got up on the bed to make sure Craig was not even a bit dead. 

Because Zita told me it was my very important job to mind him. 

Then I got too hot and went to sleep in my own little house. 

Tonight is the scary people night. Ha. We have ghosts in our trees.

But dogs are not even a bit scared of silly ghosts. It is known.

In far away Ireland is it Samon time. 

But it is not the tasty fish. 

It is when you can meet the fairies who live in the little hills. 

If you are not so careful. 

Ireland has lots and lots of those hills. That is why there are so many fairies there. 

Maybe Emmet’s old friend Mister Cú Chulainn’s and Miss Emire live in one of them. Maybe.

I hear Emmet talk about them, tight in my living room. My goodness me. 

Yesterday Zita and Emmet went out, with Auntie Eileen, and Miss Doctor Alice and her own parents and her sister, altogether.

And they had a very delicious all together lunchtime. 

And everybody talked about my friend Emmet. Ha. 

And this afternoon we made beautiful pumpkins for our front yard. 

And we put even more ghosts in our trees. Ha.

And then when Miss Dina went home Mister Tyler came here for dinner.

Then all the little children came to our house and Niamh gave them lots of candy. 

They had very beautiful costumes and lots of them said hello to me, because they were very polite.

And because it was a very special day, the very nice busy street restaurant made our very favourite from India food.

And we got squishey bread for me. That is my favourite. Ha. 

Then Niamh and Tyler and Lucy sat at the dining room table and talked. So I minded them.

Craig went into the den to watch a hockey game. I will mind him when we go to fast asleep.
