Yesterday, our contractor said a cleaning crew would be by the house tomorrow and please, would we not go over there. Then Christiane got this in her fortune cookie.

We took it as a sign. We took the last day off. We did not go to the house. (Well, one drive by, but we didn’t stop.) We went to the park, we had coffee, the kids visited with grandmother. We napped. We went swimming. We did an art project (more on that later), and signed up for soccer. We had fried chicken and beer.
Tomorrow, we move back in.
