Our refrigerator doubles as a chalkboard. Pretty old school, don’t you think? I mean, just where do you see chalk any more? I’m even a teacher and I haven’t used chalk in several years. I, um, chalk it up to progress.

Chalk it up. That’s priceless.

Anyway, Melinda and I got home yesterday morning from the marathon and found this chalk-written message on our frig. Pretty nice, a thank you note from Andrea and Anna, Chloe’s two friends who spent the Thanksgiving holiday with us.

Truth be told, both girls were exceptionally nice, ideal house guests. Andrea, as I mentioned, is from Bolivia. Her mother even called FROM BOLIVIA to thank us for hosting her daughter. That’s classy.
