I’ve taken most of this week off as vacation time. I had 3 days left so I took Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. (That’s also my lame excuse for not writing in the blog for the week.) My mom is in town for the week and I’ve spent time with her; just hanging around the house, going to Jakob’s soccer games, enjoying the nice cool weather, and doing a little shopping with her. It seems like the weeks go so fast when we have company from Tennessee.
I love having folks come up to visit. I like to take them around and show them how beautiful New England is (unless, of course, they come in February or something like that). I love to introduce family from Tennessee to my friends here in New Hampshire and I love to show them that New Englanders aren’t all that different from Southerners.
I think my mother has had a good visit. She seems to like it here, the pace is pretty slow and she’s not rushed to do anything. She likes to go out to eat and I’m always for that! She likes Kathy and Kathy loves having her around so it’s a win for everybody.
She has to go home tomorrow, though. Hopefully, she’ll be back up soon.
