SECRET HOME EXCHANGERS

Today is the holiday known in most of the USA as "Columbus Day". When I worked in Berkeley, California, the same holiday appeared in our vacation calendar as "Indigenous People's Day". There are some things I really miss about Northern California.


The weather, however, is not one of those things. Still, we had a bar-b-que for friends this weekend and got lucky with a warm, clear day.


Many of the guests were families from my kids' school. They know me as Junior's mom. They did not know of my secret identity as Super Home Exchange Mama.


There is a reason for that, and for the odd reaction I got when they learned who I really am. More on this to follow.
