Bella meets Leif

Leif brought Bella a tiny ceramic turtle in a very small tree-house, and Leif's performance of how the turtle felt, going into its little house in Mississippi and coming out in Portland, had Bella laughing with delight.

Up late last night, talking. All day today with Bella. Up late again tonight, talking.

I will have more to say at some later time. For now, I'm unplugged most of the time. Laughter, good talk, and not quite enough sleep to get by on.
