Bean brought me a rock.  It's about the size of an egg.  She left it in the
middle of the living room on the red rug that Steve bought off craigslist.
It's a really nice rock - very smooth and uniform in color.  I feel very
touched to be the recipient of such a gift.  Maybe it is an early birthday
present from her.

Thanks, Bean!  You're the best!

Mom arrives tomorrow!  Very excited.
