Our dear Uncle Brent is so very diplomatic (and kind). This is an email from me to him when we left Tocacielos in April. Only somehow he and Norma just got it last night. I hope he at least contemplated a response with some sarcasm or something.

Hi uncle Brent and aunt Norma. We just left. I hope we did the alarm right. Hit 1230 then away. We turned hot tub down to 85. Turned off hot water (i hope we did that right too!) A/c to vacation mode and unplugged tv-just the main unit.
We had such a nice relaxing time. Thanks again. Love you both. Mary

And he writes back:
Hi Mary,
I forgot you were there!! (We returned from Europe last night and I'm jet-lagged, I guess.) I hope you had a good time. I'd have had the lawn mowed earlier had I realized you were there. Oh, well. Next time.
xxx Uncle Brent
I can't believe he had to think we just went on over to his house this week. Made ourselves at home. Oh my word.
"What the hell are you doing at my house?!" is what I told him he should have emailed me.

hahahahahahahahaha.
I'd like to see the day Uncle Brent and Aunt Norma aren't completely gracious. Actually, no I don't. Something would be wrong with the world.
Though it also says at least as much about the Buris that a person first questions everything that makes sense before thinking you'd commit such a rudeness.
This is really funny...maybe we should just stop by here and there, apparently they don't mind!
Hands down, best title of a brew-mills post. Nice work.
