I was in a dazed with all the information that the professor said and what Rosie told me.
Rosie said that his face was familiar. It all came back to her on the way back from the university to the house. She clearly remembered him as the owner of a little barn a couple of blocks from their house. His name in the past was the same, Mr. Harrington, he owned that little barn where he had chickens, pigs and sold them at good prices.
Now I knew that the professor was also a time traveler. Rosie was stunned to the point that she remembered going to the barn and buying Alice three little chicks. Alice was fond of animals.
Later during the time when Alice got sick and her lungs were weak, Rosie explained that Sam had to get rid of the animals inside the house.
Well now I would wait and invite the professor here at the house to speak in private without any interruptions like at the university. It would also have to be during the day because I didn't want John to know about this, at least not yet.
The hours went by rather fast and Rosie prepared dinner and it was late when John came home. He was very tired with all the work at the office. Janey was out of the office for some time until Jim was better and she could go back to the job. Honey, said John I went to see Jim after I got out of work and he is doing rather well. Janey said by next week she would be at work again. Janey loved her job very much and she knew she was missed at the Herald. As my co-worker Janey was the best.
I knew that she worked hard and John needed her at the job, but Janey also had her son to attend too! Joey was in school and working and taking care of the family was challenging. Janey was a great woman I said to myself and John knew that too.
After dinner we went upstairs to bed and soon I was fast asleep.

Morning came too fast I should say, it was Friday and I had too many things on my mind. As I grabbed my robe I went downstairs. Rosie had breakfast on the table and John was finishing his before he left.
Honey I didn't want to wake you.
I hope I was talking in my sleep again? Of course not honey and he kissed me and left. I sat on the chair and Rosie had gone out of her way with breakfast!
Well Rosie let's finish this and we are gone!
Rosie looked at me with questionable eyes! Rosie we are doing a little research on our own.
The library opens at 8am and we will be there and look up some history.
