So quiet

The mermaid and her happy pink suitcase flew out about an hour ago. Already it seems too quiet.

Only two pink suitcases actually made it to the airport. While packing, we discovered that our great luggage bargain had some problems. The three weren't a matched set which didn't matter at all, really. Except that the largest piece was not of the same quality and we failed to notice a damaged wheel part. Oh well, we had another two cases and didn't need the largest anyway. Out to the road with a 'free' sign and it was gone in 5 minutes!

So, A., the mermaid (and two sister mermaids), a bunch of clothes and lots of interesting stuff we've been collecting for months are on their way. I'm looking forward to the ballast of recycled garments for hooking wool strips that will come back in the empty(ish) cases.

And, by then, I may be used to all this quiet in the house.
