This is Mary’s chalkboard.

I was thinking this board at one time may have had things like “don’t forget your lunch for the field trip” or “take car in for an oil change” and other benign daily notes. One day many many days from now – a number of days no one can predict-these notes will return and things will be a little bit easier.
I promise.
