It really has been a lovely weekend. Having The Parents to stay has always been a chore up to now but this weekend has just been wonderful.
We've relaxed, chatted, eaten lots and pottered about. Mum, after two weeks cooped up on a ship (even one the size of the Independence of the Seas) was keen to do something. Anything! So she weeded half of my garden, hung out the laundry and sat for two hours sorting and bagging up the loose coin that I have had hanging around for months!
My step-brother (SB) and his girlfriend (SBG) arrived for Sunday lunch and everyone just chilled and relaxed. The SB and SBG only live about 15 minutes away from me yet we rarely see each other and, like all the other times we've got together, we say we must see each other more often. And we never do. But this time we said it and this time I think we will.

I am glad you had a wonderful time!!
ReplyDeleteSounds lovely. Perhaps reconnecting on a deeper level with your family will be one of the gifts of this difficult time.
ReplyDeleteSounds like just what you needed. I always feel like that with my family when they've gone - we dont often meet and wish we did.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a great time you all had :)
ReplyDeleteHow nifty you enjoyed such a good time together. I suspect you’re right that ‘this time’ you will follow through and see one another more often. I know that’s what happened for me … way back when.
ReplyDeleteHugs and blessings,
Every day is YOUR day! Enjoy!
ReplyDeletehugs-
Patience
Chuffed you enjoyed the day! xx
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you had a nice visit with your family. It's always good to be around people you know support you when you're going through a tough period.
