Come on in!

You see, it is Evans family tradition to have Gus (desert tortoise) in the family pictures.

It was raining.
It was cold.
It was in Springville.

So, we loaded her into the cooler (aka hotel room for the winter) and we were off.
Family pictures went well... I think... and we ended the evening at my sister's house for dinner.

Then, we came home. It was late. We were tired. We unloaded the family and the bags and the mail and the everything and went straight to bed. Monday mornings come too quickly.

All night long we felt this draft. It was really cold. And, the heater kept kicking on. Weird, right?

Well, it would only be weird if there was no reason for it. But, there was a reason.

The front door had been left WIDE open (including the screen door which was propped open)... And, as it turned out, the garage was left open... AND, interestingly enough, the car doors were open... ALL NIGHT LONG.

That's right. In our rush we failed to close the doors to ANYTHING.

It was an open invitation into our home for 8 straight hours. Nice. Luckily, nothing happened... this time.
