I spoke once of organizing a party of sorts. An evening of entertainment known as a murder mystery.

I know there was some interest at the time, but I thought I'd check with everyone once again. Put out a formal invitation, as it were. There's a lot to be planned, so an actual date is some time off yet but I was hoping anyone with an interest could spare an evening around the end of July?

The weather will, of course, be warm but I'll be sure there's conditioned air and refreshments.

You know what? Hangovers are so much worse in Earth grav. I miss the Milano and being able to make with half grav if I had a headache.

You know what else? I don't think Groot gets hangovers so he has zero sympathy for them.

Thank you, everyone who came to discuss The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe at our book club. I hope you enjoyed yourselves.

For our next gathering, would you like to continue the other books in the Narnia series, or would you like to move to something else? If so, what?

Sometimes the time just goes by too fast. Especially since my daughter is now a year old as of a week ago. It feels like just yesterday that she was a tiny, innocent little thing.

[Harry]
So, given how everything has been, are you doing okay? Because you're more than welcome to stop by my place if you wish.

[Mary]
How are you faring?

Ichabod and I are incredibly pleased to announce that I am 8 weeks pregnant. Our baby will be due in the beginning of January.

Both of us are overjoyed and very excited.

My daughter is going to be two years old in a couple of months.

I was wondering if it would be too early to start her with swimming lessons? I know she would love the water - she loves her baths - and it seems like children around here love to do that in the summer.

And there's such a wonderful pool, with a water slide and everything.

Huh. Apparently this place knows what you need.

Has anyone else ever woken up and found something they really wished they had sitting in their living room waiting for them?

I can only hope these recent events do not reflect my future skills as a father, in the unlikely event such a thing comes to pass... I may have 'dropped the ball', as they say, when it came to first impressions.

On the subject of children - I know many of you have horses at the stables and though only some may be capable of it, breeding season will soon be upon us and I would encourage you to contact the stable office should that be of interest to you!

I hope everyone has had a chance to recover from the latest visitation of children.

At this time, I would like to resume our plans for a book club. Since there were no requests, I shall set the first title: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. It was written after my time, but I found it quite enjoyable.

Will three weeks be long enough for everyone to read it - or re-read it, as the case may be?

And does anyone have any suggestions for a gathering place to discuss?

I'm a bit sad to see the children go, mostly Abigail. Though if her birthdate is actually real, then I may be seeing her again a bit sooner than I expected.

[Filtered to Ichabod]

There are still a few more days until I will know for sure if I have missed my cycle for this month, though I plan to take one of those pregnancy tests this weekend.

I'm sorry to all those who had children disappear. I don't know what it's like, but I'm sure it sucks.

Does "better to have loved and lost than to have never loved at all" apply here?

So now that Spring's here, I'd love to go horseback riding. Are there any stables around here?

And don't ask me to do that bloody ignorant side-saddle thing. Girls are better made for riding astride than guys are. Our balls aren't aching by the end.

There is a man just arrived here who looks exactly like my late husband. But... it is not him.

I know this happens sometimes, but it is still jarring.


[Sent specifically to Ichabod]

Even if it was him, Matthew gave us his blessing that time that he came to me as a ghost. If that was real. I sound like a mad woman, don't I?

I must apologize for being scarce lately, friends, but I have found myself rather busy at my place of employment - And what an absolute joy it has been to be in the company of horses once more! Never have I met a creature more noble or beautiful, and I had nearly forgotten how thrilling it is to gain the trust of such a powerful animal.

I had never really thought of myself as a teacher, but I've found that instructing others in the art of riding to be nothing short of delightful. Should you find yourself curious to learn, please do pay us a visit.

In my time, we would send Saint Valentine's Day post cards to friends and family and lovers alike. I remember that my husband was able to send me one from the front lines in France. It made me so happy to receive it, even if we were not more than friends at the time. It is a shame that the post is not utilized more in these times. We had the most beautifully drawn Valentine's post cards. Some of them were very sweet. Others were quite risque.

Hello. This is honestly a bit out of my depth. Are we really expected to just live here and accept our fate in some practically anonymous American town? No offence meant. It's very quaint here.

Well, seeing as it's what's done, I ought to introduce myself.

I am England, representative of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. You may also call me Arthur Kirkland if my being an abstraction in the flesh is too unsettling.

Yes, I am the country, and yes, I am very old (not that the latter is anyone's business).
