As we got into the van the heavens opened.  Hail stones 
the size of golf balls pelted the car.  Then a deluge of 
water followed.  Frankie got very upset.  He had wanted 
to take a balloon ride over Natick to get an aerial view 
but with the rain he couldn't.  We went to the store and 
bought him the balloon anyway.  He felt better by the 
time we got home.  The balloon had teddy bears on it and 
said I love you.

When we got home it was 8:00.  A long time past Joe's 
bed time and time for teddies to go to bed.  We put the 
boys in Joe's room to read while we made up a bed for 
Frankie.  Of course Frankie picked out abook about a hiding 
bear called Baby Boo.  He climbed up on the rocker and read 
peacefully while Chip got Joe into his PJ's and I finished 
the bed.  We all kissed Joe good night and left.  Right across 
the hall Frankie slept in a beautiful handmade bed that Joe 
slept in when he was small enough to fit in it.  Frankie told 
Joe he was very honored that Joe let him borrow his bed.
