Laura's boyfriend Peter was in the World Cheerleading Competition in Orlando this weekend. So Laura and Peter were flying into Orlando on Wednesday. Laura's 35th birthday was on Thursday. We packed up to drive home on Saturday, and the house was full of boxes. Laura messaged us on Tuesday night and asked if we could chat. So we talked to her on the phone, and then later, I spoke to her on messenger. She wanted to visit us on her birthday. I said Mom was too busy packing, but I was free. We said we didn't have room for her here, and the guest bedroom was full of packing. I said we have an air mattress that she might be able to use in my office. Then we finally decided that she should rent a car, stay in a nearby hotel overnight, and visit us on her birthday at our house. Mom put together a little bag of presents and got a card and four bundt cakes. I got ChatGPT to write a poem. Laura and Peter arrived around noon, and Mom met Peter for the first time. Laura had some little pickleball presents as a belated birthday present for Mom. We had a pleasant visit, and then they had to leave around 4 p.m. to get back to Orlando for a cheer practice for Peter's team. That was a lovely finish to our time in Florida.
