Old Blue Eyes

circa 1920

"Carl has great big blue senstive eyes. He is sensitive. that expresses it best. His eyes are soft and his voice is soft. .... Carl smiles if a person just walks past him.

"It is 9:30 now, and Arthur is holding one and Amy the other. They are both real patient with them. Arthur helps so much around the house and with them. Arthur is so good natured and he talks all the time, and he is so affectionate to Amy and the kids, and fusses over them all the time. Arthur says, 'This is the life, meaning twins!

....

"Carl moves his feet up and down [in the little bath tub on the kitchen table] and then he looks at Amy and smiles. He is so lovable!"
