Sunday night. Wonderful afternoon with the ex-Good Neighbors (they still are good but we don't live next door anymore). Reminded of the particular pleasure of good friends who share good books.  Truth to tell, I sometimes am lonely, most of my time circumscribed by living with Jim. So this afternoon's visit was a great pleasure. Some good Sparky sparking as well. His time with us is circumscribed as well.

Who likes Latin? I love Latin. Working out the word "circumscribed," for example.

Have no idea how I stumbled across this book, the 1965 Pulitzer fiction winner, but it is so very finest kind not to mention mighty tasty: The Keepers of the House by Shirley Ann Grau.
