re: Happy Front Day: November 4, 2023

Friends,

It was a perfect Front Day. We spent the morning and early afternoon recreating in City Park. Mother brought the croquette set and we had a marvelous and competitive tournament that Uncle won. We celebrated his victory with a lap around the park in the old train.

By 3:00 we walked home to prepare for the evening festivities. By 6, the house was filling quickly. We probably had around 50 guests, down from our recent average. Someone said there was an LSU football game, which might have kept some people at home. Why people would waste their time to watch kids playing a game that means nothing I will never understand.

By 6:30 the chocolate and cookies were flowing. Uncle manned the organ and we had a raucous time. We sang beautiful hymns late into the night and by midnight we had to call it a night, despite a score of the choir wanting us to go on.

Uncle refused to play Delacroix’s song because it suggested Front Day had grey skies, but he was appreciative of the effort in the song. Next year he said he hopes you will write a new song and tune, and perhaps if it passes muster and ascribes praise to God he will incorporate into his list.

Seven, how wonderful to see you. We had fifteen varieties of chocolate for sipping. You would have loved it. What is your favorite drinking chocolate?

LettheTigerOut, what a beautiful message with such lovely graphics. Mother was tickled and enjoyed reading your kind words, as did I. I hope you, meeple, and Legion of Doom will join us next year.

Chocolatey yours,
