My parents visited us over the weekend. It was great to see them
It didn’t feel like Christmas, though. I was hoping that it would somehow, and I had even left the tree up, but the magic wasn’t quite there. Anyway, my parents seemed to like their gifts, and we liked ours. I got some new books to read, which is of course the last thing that I needed but still one of the things I like most.
I had thought that when my parents left they were going to take their car and leave us with their SUV, the reason being that the car is easier for my mom to drive. So I was really confused when my father insisted on taking the SUV instead. Oh, well. I prefer the car anyway. And it just goes to show that you can know people for your entire life but still not always be able to predict what they’re going to do.
My father accidentally left behind his hiking gear: scarf, gloves, hat, jacket, and shoes. Now that I could have predicted! This is not the first time we’ve had to mail their stuff back to them.
The house is cleaner than it had been for a long time. I hope we can keep it up for a while.
Alas, now I have to put the Christmas tree away. 🙁
