In-Laws

Whenever we go and visit our daughter and son-in-law, it is often a holiday weekend of some sort.   Matt's family-- let's call them the Jones---are very generous in always inviting us to family gatherings.

This weekend was Mother's Day, and the Jones family celebrated at Matt's sister's house.  There were aunts and uncles and cousins of various sorts, as well as us, who are Matt's in-laws.

It is a good thing that all of us can celebrate together, and I suspect somewhat unusual.

It was a perfectly beautiful day to be outside.  Our oldest daughter also made the trip with us this time, so that added another special element to the weekend.  V and M and B all went into the city on Saturday to see the sights and take in a performance of Cirque de Soleil.  Gerry and I opted for a more relaxed day at home, or nearby.

We enjoyed a lovely weekend,  but there's nothing like home, no place like home.   We do so much enjoy our home.

How will we handle being away for a whole month?   I wonder if we will be able to endure it at all.  I guess that remains to be seen.
