Hard to Say Goodbye

Okay, not to harp on all this, but it's always hard to say goodbye to R's family when they leave. The preparation can make me anxious, and there are a lot of things to attend to before (cleaning and hiding the mess), during (keeping the mess at bay), and after they go, but it's always sad to say goodbye.

It takes a day or two to settle back into our routines, and there is a bit of a gray cloud over all of us once they are gone. Then again, we're so busy that it isn't long before we're back into the frenzied pace of our lives, which is good or bad, depending on who you ask.

Until the next time, thanks for reading, and thanks to elke oerter for the pic.
