We are leaving today for the north

We have been interested in old friends for some time now. It seems they never really leave your consciousness. I made some calls but we happen to be in house of our friend while she isn't home. We hear she's making fabric with her son. The home is spread out and she has a new husband and child. Under the cabinet is an animal balloon with a marker face on it. We know that this is her work. You paint a round balloon with a red marker and secure it to the kichen counter.
