I had such a nice conversation with the lovely Miss Ellen! Well, okay, she didn't actually do much talking, but she was a very attentive listener while I told her what a gorgeous girl she had become. And she seemed to think it was pretty cool that I had watched her and her siblings play together when they were cute little kids. It's a very good day when I can look into those soulful eyes, seeing that same sweetness that she had as a cub, and they look right back at me!
