Always in the back of my head...
A very busy bee!
Last night I packed my bags, loaded the car, washed the towels, and dishes, cleaned the pool, living room, and dining room in preparation to leave the Hatem residence. Their vacation was my vacation. As they explored the east coast and visited, New York, Boston, Canada, and a few other destinations, I had the privelege of house sitting. I lived at their house for 2 weeks. Some friends came over and we shared a few last laughs with Sara. Cousins, neighbors, and family took advantage of the Hatem’s newly installed pool and spa. Michael and I literally “lived” there. We cooked (he mostly did the cooking on the grill), we cleaned, we washed, we fed Sparky, it was as if it was our own. At first Michael was only going to stay a few nights but after an incident with a peeping neighbor he didn’t see it fit to leave me alone at night. Sparky was great to have around. He was an excellent watch dog, so I felt safe. This was my vacation. I couldn’t really go anywhere but the other side of Alhambra and still be able to go to work. It was a fun experience and I’m glad I accepted the Hatem’s generous invitation.
