The Vent vs. The Summer vs. The End of an Era



The girls have been spending a lot of time on this air vent at Reed College; Chandler (who took these photos--thanks, as ever, ECJ) reports that it is "a very serious business" to find the leaves and put them on the vent.



Today, Friday, is the last day Elsie will hang out with Ida and Chandler--after almost a year!--as she's going to daycare on Monday..



...sometimes Elsie can be a little "aggressive," but we know it's out of love.



We love you, EAB, and will miss you, and will still see a lot of you whenever we can!

Oh no!
Does this mean Elsie will disappear from Ida's blog (except on special occasions)? I'm used to getting two-fer-one!--Kathryn

Dude, as long as they´re not sleeping on that vent, Philly-style.

Fortunately the sun came out so we aren't having them sleep out there anymore.

Not to worry, Kathryn, Elsie will still be on the scene--and can be checked on via her own blog, of course--and she is of course Ida's best friend, nemesis, confidante, tormentor, etc. That won't change.

And soon--very soon--Ida and Chandler will be joined by Elsie's baby sister, known sometimes as Elsie, Jr, sometimes as Frieda, sometimes as Falluja. The appearance of this small person will perk up this blog, no doubt.

Oh, how sad that the Dynamic Duo are breaking up.
Great pics; in the second one, Elsie looks like she is dropping some fierce breakdancing moves.
