Our Visitors Are Going Home!
Cowland, People February 2nd, 2007
The Girl has had some vistors staying with us since the beginning of December. They’re from Romania, where the Girl is from…and they’re leaving on Tuesday!
She keeps saying, “Visitors are like fish. After 3 days they start to stink.”
That’s not entirely true here, but for various reasons (like vicious fighting between the two women), she’s had enough and is happy to see them off. Here are some pictures of the two of them: TroubleMaker (TM), and Victim (V). V is actually just as happy to be off, but TM isn’t.

TM is on the left and V is on the right. That’s me in the middle.
Here’s the Girl forcing a smile next to TM.

you should see the movie _madhouse_, with john laroquette and kirstie alley. it’s an eighties classic about how unwelcome houseguests can take over your life!

hey, you guys did quite well surviving those months, and winter months on top of that, when there’s not much outdoor activity so people are stuck inside most of the time. but i think the girl was happy to have them and like the fish, send them off when it’s time. that’s funny what she said about guests and fish. when we come to see you, i promise not to start stinking lol! and you guys are ALWAYS and ANYTIME welcome in our place!

Anon: when I think of getting to your place I picture the end of the Sound of Music when the Von Trapps are walking over the Alps and “Climb Every Mountain” is playing.
We’d be a little stinky after such a journey.
