My parents have been here and gone. My mom loved the weather and my dad loved the scenery, and both loved spending time with their grandsons. It was just about as good as it gets on those scores. The only downside was the sheer number of times I ate at Denny's or IHOP. The last evening they were here we were trying to decide where to go to eat. I literally couldn't think of anything that sounded good at either of those places. We ended up just having sandwiches at my house, and I can't tell you how much of a relief that was -- for all of us, I think. I must be getting old. :)
Lots of my friends are off at GenCon, and while I miss going and seeing everyone, I am glad I didn't try to go this year. It would have just been a huge mess right now, both financially and time-wise with kids and everything. As it is I'm really enjoying my stained glass class and dancing and whatnot. Instead I'll just be working on finding a job after this and saving my pennies up for next year.
