The Picklethorpes have a busy homelife, and this week was no different, so this is going to be quite a long update. 

Pater Familias, Protector of the People, Captain Hero and Cheese Enthousiast Arthur Picklethorpe is enjoying his elder days. The kids are all grown up (or mostly, in Brie's case), he's ready for his retirement, and things are still humming along smoothly between him and his wife Violet. Plenty to be thankful about, and now plenty of time as well to eat lots and lots of grilled cheese sandwiches.
