Returning to Noisy

Danny and Bec have been away since Tuesday, off visiting the grandparents in Pennsylvania.  I have gotten stuff done (solid work on taxes, cleaning, polishing the dog--who is bewildered at the sudden reduction of her staff) and run things pretty much as I liked, which is novel and pleasant.  And answered more text messages than Heinz has pickles--now that Danny has an iPhone which takes dictation, I've had to remind him that some of us make do with our DumbPhones and our thumbs) and gotten silly photos.  They return tonight at midnight-or-as-close-as.  It will be good to have them home.  But that means today is more cleaning and more errands.

And more dog.  Emily would certainly want that emphasized.
