    Goat in Italian is Capra, now for your next lesson. Kidding. The boys will love Italy and it will show in their fluency.

    James will be a great help in the kitchen. I would suspect in a few years he will allow Marcel to take long vacations.

    Thanks. I think the Harvard Goats must fit in there somehow.

    I'm not sure if it is the thrill of being in another country or the plane ride.

    Clever. I never heard of the Goats but it is a real team. I'm not sure the orphanage would be allowed to have a real goat. I can imagine how that goat would enjoy his attention and treats from the kids. (that's isn't a pun."

    Tuesday, after Colin went to work, the boys and I headed to the gallery. Mom said the student working on his master degree wanted to talk about renting an apartment. She said he has some questions. I also wanted to go to the store where we bought our bunk beds. The morning was shaping up to be a busy morning. Arriving at the gallery I met with the student in Mom’s office. He seemed like a nice guy, his questioned concerned how many students could occupy an apartment, I asked him if he has

    Poor Pat she will hear them bleating like a goat all night after the game. So far we have fishing/shopping trips for the girls, picnics, zoo visit, ball games, what's next?

    They do. I'm sure Pat is appreciative of what the guys are doing. You could be right about the Yard Goats. I know they are in a league.

    if feasible, they would. But they can't, the best anyone could do is to give them attention, the guys are doing that.

    One never knows what is around the corner. For now, let's go to the ball game. BTW the Goats play in an AA league

    Arriving home, the boys were going to take a nap. I went to the kitchen to talk to Marcel. I wanted his input on James. We had less than two weeks before we would leave for Italy. Mrs. Anderson arrived Sunday by taxi. I had plan on going and pick her up, but I was planning our trip and lost time. “Mrs. Anderson, I apologize for not coming to pick you up. Be assured I’ll drive you home. After lunch, I’d like to show you our kitchen and the bunk beds I’d like to get for the orphanage.”

    You'll be the first to know but there is a lot of going on between now and then.

    Your welcome, Tony. There is a lot more, and maybe thinks will become clearer.

    I'm sure they won't let that space go to waste. Maybe a few overnights or week-end guests.

    If you find anyone to take you up on, do it. Imagine having a chef who taught at a culinary school your private chef.The food will not only be good but also healthy.

    Armand eyes are wet when he leaves the orphanage, he would love to adopt them all but it is impossible. I know he will be sure they have activities that give them a feeling of being special and loved.

    If Armand has his way they would be an extended family. Wait, I think he already's think of them as an extended family.

    Chapter 77

    The boys were up very early. I expected that, sleeping out in the open, morning seems to come early. Dressed, Colin took them to the club kitchen. I joined them as soon as I had showered and dressed. Walking into the kitchen, Marcel was busy making breakfast. “You’re early, Marcel.” “Yes, someone last night requested pancakes for breakfast this morning. Some thing about welcoming a new brother.” I knew who that someone was. In Italian, “Tommy, that was you.” I wanted Tommy and Col

    Commonality is a great bonding experience. I wonder how Mrs. Anderson would have handle Richard if Armand wasn't there.

    Chapter 76

    Armand, with the help of Thomas and Ronny, have focused on helping Richie to adjust. I'm sure in the middle of the night, Richie's dreams aren't comfortable. Tommy knows about the woman that comes to him and tells him stories. I think she visits them all, including Armand. A lot to unravel, so hand in there.

    That is a good question. Thomas and Ronald have trust funds, not sure about Richie. In some ways Ritchie is an unknown. Armand only knows he needs help.

    Chapter 76

    There's a lot up in the air with Richie. He knows he isn't alone, but there is a lot not spoken. He will open up in time
