Hi, friends. Well, this is the week that I tell the other half of the story that I started last week after last week's podcast. Kevin said, Dave! Is Dave okay? Well, you'll find out this week.

And I'll also explain in the podcast where we are going in the next couple of weeks as we unpack what happened on December 27th.

After three months of real estate turbulence, getting our house in Maryland sold and settled,

we finally were in our new home in the Market Common District of Myrtle Beach. Sunday, December 27th,

was the first full day of our new life. Ava was enjoying this feeling as she approached a red light

at the intersection of Coventry and bypass 17. She was the first car at the light in the

far left lane. Another driver pulled up next to her. Both would be turning left when the light turned

green. After a few minutes, the light changed and Ava remembers the driver to her right moving first.
