Half of our family left today—Trevor for his last work trip of the season, and Iris for a school trip to Moab. Edith and I woke up feeling a little groggy, and she with an unidentifiable cough from hell. There were no other symptoms, but also no reason not to have a cozy day, especially since it was cloudy and stuck in the low 40s. We closed off our sunroom and actually built the first fire of the season, which we kept burning all day.

It was a day of a little work, but mostly television shows, some card games, and junk food for dinner while watching an Olsen Twins movie. Which, did you grow up saying Mary-Kate and Ashley or Ashley and Mary-Kate? There is a debate.
