Get Away

Eli's boss offered us his cabin in Michigan, two hours away, for the weekend. At first, I was thinking, 'But I have to recover the chairs. But we have to go check out cribs. But the kitties...' and then I realized, 'Wow. We can get away for a couple days, together, alone, and not be tempted away from relaxing by endless chores.' How novel! It's also our anniversary next week so it the timing is apropos. Yay! We can read and play cards and go for walks and I can swim in the freezing lake while Eli sits in the sun.
