Good evening my dear friends! No sooner had we gotten back to the cabin from our adventure in the woods, when Mitchell, Max, Martha and Molly got out the Monopoly game and began to play.
Morley got busy getting our Christmas decorations down from the attic and I began to make supper.
Have you ever tried cooking a meal that pleases a crowd like mine? Let me tell you - it is No Easy task! Meg simply refuses to eat vegetables and Mildred hates milk. When I serve asparagus spears - well....let's just say that Miffy thinks she has us all fooled when she tucks them in her cheeks and then excuses herself to go the bathroom. Two minutes later she is back at the table and her cheeks are empty!
As I was whipping up a quick supper of mashed bananas and green beans, I could hear a ruckus coming from the corner where the Monopoly game was being played. I could tell that Mitchell made Molly mad because he hid his money under his tail and Molly simply hates that! Just as Molly thought she had a chance to to win (it hasn't happened yet), she rolls the dice and lands in jail. Max then takes his turn and scoops up the last Rail Road (of which he had no others) and begins to taunt the others while laughing hilariously. Truthfully, Max is a 'poor winner'. Do you know anyone like that?
At this point, Martha who had been pretty quiet up to this point, decided that she had enough and simply quit. This caused an uproar and just as the commotion was heading for the next level, dinner was ready and I quickly called them all to the table.
The next time you stick your head in the cabin at the end of the lane, we will be decorating the tree for Christmas. I hope you join us!
Love, Mabyn
