Two In-laws, a Baby, Three Dogs, and a Cat (#2)

An hour later the snow is gone and Boise is asleep. In Boston the snow would cover him, but he won't be allowed outside.

I wake him up, stroking his fur. He complains, then loves it.

In the evening we pick up the in-laws (and nephew). I buy chicken at Popeye's, expecting them to be hungry. I know that flight. They say they've eaten too much chicken, in America, and are sick of it. I know that feeling, in reverse.

We get home and the dogs go crazy. Cathreen's second sister and brother-in-law are with us and two babies fill the house with sound, creating little black holes of attention.

By the next day I know I have lost Cathreen to the baby. I miss her.
