arrival

Birthday girl and son

 It was raining, and as soon as I turned on the electricity, the septic alarm started going off. But the gas was on, and the fireplace was going, and Pam and John and Noah helped me to unload the beds from the truck. (There will be a lot of discussion of beds coming up.)  I had sent the chairs over on the ferry the day before, which was fortunate, because they never would have fit.
  It was Pam's birthday, and so we went out with two of her kids and her husband and cousin. It was fun.
  And now it is the next day, and I finally got the chairs from the freight dock and unloaded the truck.
  Next? Phone. Septic. Assessment. Beds.
I am contemplating marrying muscle.
