thanksgiving eve

 While I was cleaning today, I found my long-lost mittens.    Apparently I stored them safely with my bathing suits because that makes so much sense.

I sent this picture to my friend and we laughed.  Good grief.

The kids helped me all day, vacuuming and putting things away across three floors of the house.  We had no little kids here today, so nobody was trailing along happily undoing our work.

I was so happy to see James in the house and he dusted and moved furniture and helped us.

 We got it done.

Time for bed.

It's already tomorrow.

Love, Val
