Ahhhhh...... the family has left, and I am alone for a week's vacation now.
Whew!

Always fun having them here, but having one's household increase 400% is a bit stressful, especially for one who lives alone in a small apartment.

Especially when the guests are the type who insist on having the TV on at all times, and who can't watch just one thing at a time but click through channels constantly every time a commercial comes on or their attention wanders.

1. My dear Rabrrrrrr...
I hear you!

It's fantastic to have our kids and grandkids here...and wonderful to say goodbye too!

There's a reason we had our children when we were young...

Enjoy the peace and quiet!

:hi:
