Day 118

Day 118 in Seahaven Springs, under cloudy skies. Saturday orchard morning is under way. Opinions about ladders are plentiful. Dot Ferris is stepping out with Dr. Cornelius Pratt. Gus Tidewater is stepping out with Marla Finch. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. The Case of the Missing Lighthouse Postcard reaches its conclusion. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
