When my daughters were in high school, we went to England. In the middle of the trip, we were in Stratford - and we loved it so much we stayed and extra day or two and just hung out. It was then we decided that every trip needed three days in Stratford in the middle of it. Go to China for three weeks - spend three days in the middle in Stratford. Go to NYC for a week - spend some time in Stratford in the middle of it. :) You get the idea.
Well, today I have found another middle ground. Have lots and lots of family here for 2 weeks - in the middle they all go away for a day. One family has left. Another has gone to a friends' house to water ski. One couple will drift back in late tonight with all others returning tomorrow. And Dee and I will be Much More able to cope with their descent again because today has been Ours. We went out to lunch. We have napped. I have read and he has puttered and no one has pulled or patted or asked for our attention in any way. And tomorrow I will be Thrilled to welcome all those little hugs and big smiles for another 6 days!! ~ blessings
