Start: Lately I’ve been having this recurrent dream. We’re giving this perfect party. We have our dining room back, and Grandmother’s silver, before it was stolen, and Charley’s mother’s royal blue dinner plates, before the mover’s dropped them, and even the finger bowls, if I knew where they were.
