Rebeca and Jason took off this morning. But before they left, Jason picked up some tacos from Taco Cabana and brought them back to the house, so we were able to have a nice leisurely breakfast together.
When their car backs out of the driveway, we are always grateful for Duke. As they drive off, it has become a habit for Jason or Rebeca to say "Cattles" to Duke in a serious voice and that makes Duke bark. So, as they are driving off, Duke usually has his head out the window as he barks and barks and it is so funny! It always makes us laugh. This time, though, we got a bonus, because we could also hear Jack's little high-pitched bark coming out along with the deep barks of Duke. We don't know what they were telling Jack to make him bark, but it was great to hear that little chorus going down the road. So, we were able to smile, even though we felt incredibly sad.
So, now it's just Guillermo and I again in the house. We have had visitors since before Christmas - Rebeca came for Christmas and stayed about a week, Martina came at the beginning of January, Fernando came shortly after Martina and stayed for several days, Martina was with us all of January and February, Andrew came at the end of February and stayed for two and a half weeks, Rebeca and Jason came last week, Mom spent Monday night, Martina and Andrew left on Tuesday, and Rebeca and Jason left today. It has been most enjoyable. While cleaning up the house and getting things back to the way we had them, I felt a little sad. Guillermo and I love being together, but we also had lots of fun with everyone. So, it's a bittersweet thing!
