I’ve very much been enjoying the visit with my family. There was one very enthusiastic pro-Bush discussion that I stayed well out of, although my brother-in-law gave me a tiny smile across the table to let me know that he knew what was going through my mind. ;) Morgaine just left yesterday to go back home with her boyfriend, as they are buying a house (!!!?!). He is wonderful and I am very happy that they are together. Shopping yesterday in Medford was exhausting, as one of my sisters and her daughter are marathon shoppers. My father was angry that we had all allowed them to tire my mother so badly, and he made my youngest sister cry. My mother is holding her own, although she does tire very easily and speech becomes almost impossible at times. But it has been a wonderful visit, and I have treasured this time with my family. Sorry, Phil, I know that you’ve seen the money going from the bank account…don’t worry, I think I’m done. ;) Very hot and sunny here, btw – I’ve read how cold and grey it is back home. I feel as though I’m storing up warmth in my bones to see me through at least a few weeks of greyness once I get back.
lol – don’t worry – I’ve not even LOOKED at the bank account!!!
Sorry to hear about your mum getting tired out, though knowing your mum, it’s probably hard stopping her from doing what she wants to…
As for Pro-Bush…it’s to be expected…he’s likely to get relected this time anyway, so someone must be voting for him (not even HE can cheat that much!)
YAY!!!! It’s yoooouuuu! :) *bounces up and gives you a big cross-the-ocean hug* It’s great to hear you’re having a lovely visit. :) I know what you mean about staying out of political discussions, although, I will be voting (and not for ‘him’).
Even us LJ folks have been missing you! :) Possibly because your man keeps moaning about not having you around too. Poor thing. I hope you got him plenty of jerky to keep him happy. :)
PS – just checked the weather and it’s supposed to be sunny this weekend!!
Yaay…that means you’ll only need 2 vests and a Parker to go outside…
It’s really muggy right now actually, I’m hoping the rain stays off for Kipper-catching…
: )

lol…I got LOTS of jerky. And sunflower seeds. I’m leaving one of the suitcases here, though, since I just about killed myself trying to carry it all. I realised when I went to get a luggage cart that I had no change to get one! :) This has been a good trip – I’ve missed everyone so much.
