Bold as Brass

So last week I went to the grocery store. I came in to the house, put 2 bags on the conter, two on the floor and went into the living room to boot up. Ellie was playing in her playroom next to me. She wanders into the kitchen. Not 2 minutes cumulative has gone by. I hear nothing. Not a peep. It's quiet. Eerily so.

VERY quiet.
