The Relatives Left!

Oh my - a whole month of relatives...

Today the last one left - my Mother-in-law - a really dear person (at 91 years young). My husband drove her to the Oakland airport and they are flying together to Albuquerque tonight. I was supposed to go with them, but opted out and cancelled my plane reservations last week. The desperate need for solitude and quiet outweighed my guilty feelings about staying home.

Yesterday, our daughter and eighteen month old granddaughter left to return home to Champaign, Illinois. That was the sad part - saying goodbye after a wonderful two week visit. It was amazing seeing little Lindsay bond with her Great Great Grandma Ginny (Lindsay shortened this to GG). It was a very special time, indeed, for all of us.

I won't go into the nine day stay of the other relatives which took place earlier in the month. Suffice it to say that it won't happen again...

Today, I had breakfast with a group of quilting friends and then we all went to the Humboldt County Fair. I had so much fun - haven't been in years.

Tomorrow - I CRAFT!
