That gives a permanent joy with a realistic basis for a good life together. How all those secrets we had in Croft, Baltimore and home sound in my heart and mind now. They are such good company when you are away and can't retell to me in person. 
Last night the black out went well. I still don't know who the warden is in our block. It was moonlight and there is snow on the ground so that it wasn't very dark out, but the people really kept their lights out. Some of the war factories kept working but Quaker blacked out and really made that corner of town dark according to the radio commentator. 
I've done some household jobs at home but nothing tonight as I listened to the radio and read until I went to get Hazel and come over here. You
