Sorry I've been late to the game, but it's been a very exciting trip. My youngest daughter scheduled this trip around my birthday which I questioned cause she would have to take kids out of school. Well now I know why, she was in cahoots with my oldest. Surprised can't describe the feeling when my oldest showed up. I haven't seen her in 4 years and to say I screamed, cried and hugged her so tight I didn't want to let her go. Wow what a Birthday surprise. We enjoyed 7 days together and yesterday I had to put her back on a plane to her home in Massachusetts. Still getting over the shock.
we opened all the cards and candies yesterday together and each one was unique and lovely.
macybaby I'll pm you about the xmas swap.
Irish mom, my sympathy on you loss, wow I can only imagine the pain of loosing a child. My aunt who lost her 2 sons told me once, its a loss you never get over, just through it.
we're finally enjoying a little touch of fall weather here down south, though I'm sure it won't last long.
