The remodel is clearly not finished, but my sister is visiting and we need to be out of the house a few days for the mess of sanding drywall and spraying texture. So we’re going up to the Popple cabin.
Jason said the sweetest thing to me this morning. He said, “Tomorrow morning before we leave, we fill it up, hit start, and walk away.”

I don’t know where she learns so much.
