Send in the clown. Don't bother we're here.

We're here!
It feels great to not be _going anywhere_ anymore. About an hour outisde our new home town the wife said "This is the most beautiful place we been on the whole trip...except for Vail." Which puts it thrid to Interlochen, Switzerland.

We got into out house saturday June 8 at 8pm. There was still some daylight. We discover my parents (or maybe magic elves) had been busy. There were fresh flowers in several rooms, towels and candles in the bathrooms, a shower curtain, some snacks in the kitchen cabinets, a set of sheets for the bed. All the essentials to spend our first night there.

And then we saw it .... over the mantle...staring at us...a pale white, slightly sad, slightly menacing, slightly cracked...ceramic CLOWN! Aaaaaahhhh!
