Yes, I think the backyard project is coming along well. We had to pause for a few days because the weather shifted and the ground was too wet to work with. The crew should be back on site tomorrow morning if the forecast holds. I will need to confirm with the supplier about the delivery of the remaining stone materials. We also discussed adjusting the drainage plan slightly to better handle runoff from the slope. I can send you the updated sketches later this evening so you can take a look before the next meeting. Let me know if you want to review them together.

A Note for Our Guests

Your recent stay with us brings a new opportunity

Because you stayed at a Marriott Hotel or a Marriott partner hotel within the past year, we have set aside a luxury cooling pillow set for you — provided at no charge. After completing a brief questionnaire, you will also be able to claim a 2-night stay at select locations, provided at no charge. You will not be billed for the pillows or the qualifying stay nights. This opportunity is extended to you as a valued guest, and one pillow set per household is available. Total allocation is 800 pillow sets. The program ends tomorrow.

The team has been working through the final edits on the chapter and we should have a draft ready for review by midweek. I think the narrative structure is much stronger now after we reorganized the opening sections. We also added a few more source citations to support the later claims. Let me know if you want me to send you the tracked changes version or a clean copy. I will follow up with the publisher regarding the timeline once we have the final revisions approved. I think we are close to wrapping this up.
