"The party's over, it's time to call it a day . . "


I came home at lunch today to bid farewell to the last of our visitors. It's awfully quiet around here now - so we went over to Harry and Dawn's to keep them company after they took Bill and Marjorie to the airport!!

Eliza had a multitude of last-minute chores - we always think there will be more time, for more things - but maybe it's good to leave when there's still more to do!


Our little Volvo was bursting at the seams - it's not used to multiple carseats, strollers - and luggage!! But it came through and the busy travelers made it to the plane on time!


It was a record breaking year - 19 at the New Year's Eve sleepover, 29 at the New Year's Eve celebration, no one got sick, and only these items were found when we played pick-up tonight.


Let me know what's yours, and I'll send it on!

I said I'd probably post tonight, but I've been fighting a cold - so I went to bed at 8:30 last night - and slept all night too!! So I will hit the hay now - and post the pics from Sunday tomorrow.

But maybe you're tired of endless photos of the same people.

I never get tired of our wonderful family - thank you all for a glorious holiday - I miss you all already!!

The white and checked shirts are Karl's. So is the sweater. Don't ask why I'm keeping tabs on Karl's clothes.

I think I left my blowdryer, but don't mail it back- the postage would cost more than a new one!

And I knew they were Karl's shirts and sweater, but I wanted to create some anxiety - at least some drama anyway!!

And I found the blowdryer - it's not that heavy.
