By some stroke of luck, I got the end of the cakes from the dinner. It's so rich I can only eat a little piece at a time, so the 3x5" chunk of mocha cake will last me days. I expect Laurel and Vogon will split the fruit cake chunk. (It smells divine but I will resist because it contains kiwi and mango, both oral allergy syndrome triggers for me. I think the cake itself is green tea flavored because it's that matcha powder green.)

Laurel gets dismissed to book fair at the end of the day (rather than me going outside to get her) and after slinging her bag behind the cashier table, she pulls a book and sits down to read until we close up.

Last fall I found her curled up on the floor with a book at closing time:

Nope. Every day when I open for the day, I stand in the middle of the room and just breathe it in.
