The memories are very beautiful and very strong.We were both so glad to see one another that as soon as you stepped into my room we wrapped our arms a...ound one another before the door was barely shut behind you.Your lips were warm and soft and your tongue was searching and intertwining with mine in a kiss that we had been waiting for since our college days, or at least anticipating since the night of the 10-year reunion when I asked you to dance with me. All I had really wanted that night. So my workshop is growing an addition and we're going to get a pattern for a tapestry loom as well as look into how to create patterns for a tapestry. We're looking into spinning our own yarn as well, even if we do have to have the replicator create ersatz wool or cotton to start with. I liked your idea of cotton so much that I requested that we have at least forty acres near our house set aside to attempt to grow some. Of course that will mean (if it works) that I have to study a cotton gin so. How an occupancy permit was ever issued is open to speculation. The Fire Marshall has become aware of this and is requiring that sprinklers be installed which will be a substantial expense. If you give me two more days I can get better estimates together but my preliminary estimate would be that all the repairs are going to total to this amount.”Dan looked at the estimate and said, “That’s close to twenty percent of the purchase price!”Casey in a frustrated voice said, “There may be other. To that end, I will announce Julia of Trimble’s official entry into our militia at this moment. I give you Captain Julia Trimble of the Sixth Azkoval Defense Battalion. I have tasked Julia with forming an entire battalion of female soldiers and training them to be as fierce as she is. It is no small task because, as you have seen, Julia is not one to trifle with. If you disagree, then feel free to come forward and try your hand.”No one moved – as Joseph was certain they would not.“Or, perhaps.
