Susan and Beth are the gentle owners of the house where we stayed for three months in Chicago. We said goodbye to them this afternoon in their garden (it's a little our garden too). Their home made our stay in Chicago more real, more pleasant, more memorable (toilet quirks and all... sorry, internal joke).
We had a present for them. A magic rabbit made of metal, red and black, that we had bought in Douglas, Michigan in July. It will keep company to the hare that comes in the morning to munch on the leaves in the garden.
We will miss their invisible presence around the house, their impromptu appearances in the stairs in the back, the enjoyable chats in the middle of the day. But we just say "hasta la vista"!
