Emeline fell asleep with her lantern that Grammie and Grampie got her for reading in her room. It's been in our closet with dead batteries for about 6 months. I cleaned out our closet last week, found it, and bought new batteries last night. She is so happy, she is sleeping with it. Joe looked at her sleepingness and said, In brightest day, in darkest night, no evil shal escape my sight." from Green Lantern. Ha!!
