You can imagine my surprise when they continued to think of nothing but boats all weekend, too! Mr. Brisbane read about model sailboats, sketched them and worked on them in his garage workshop. Meanwhile, Mrs. Brisbane kept busy writing things on a piece of paper. Every once in a while, she’d stop and chuckle. When I first met Mrs. Brisbane, she never chuckled. In fact, she hardly ever smiled, because of Mr. Brisbane’s automobile accident. But slowly, over time, she regained her sense of humor. Maybe I helped just a little bit. Still, it was unusual for her to sit and chuckle in a room all by herself. People often say and do very strange things in front of me, almost as if I’m invisible. Finally, Mr. Brisbane came in from the garage. “You’re still working on your list?” he asked. “Yes,” she said, chuckling again. “I tell you, this is going to be one fun field trip.” So that was it. She was planning the picnic at Potter’s Pond. Oh, what I would give to get a peek at her list!
