My folks have been staying with us for the past week. Yes, in our not altogether palatial New York apartment with only one bathroom. And we still like each other!
It is going to be so quiet tonight when Monkey and I come in the door. I think she is going to be profoundly disappointed to not find Grandma and 'Andpa there to play with - she really enjoyed her time with them these past few days.
Grandma and 'Andpa flew in to spend time with Monkey, but also to kindly let us take off for the weekend to attend our dear friend's wedding in the Berkshires. It was a lovely weekend and a wonderful wedding, even if it was 98 degrees out. (and no a/c at the reception - well, only one in a butler's room/closet...houses built in the 1700s are lovely but boy were we HOT).
This was the third time that I've ever been away from Monkey for more than the work-day. It was wonderful to sleep in! Oh, the sleep! The blessed, blessed sleep.
It was even better to walk in the door and have Monkey come hurtling down the hallway to give me a hug with a huge smile on her face. Yeah, definitely better.

See time away is good. Then they miss you.
