Silence

The kids have been gone for a day now. The house is quiet except for the sound of the washer and dryer! Lots to do as far as towels, sheets, etc and the buildup of our own clothes in the clothes hamper. Still, things are quiet.

I got an email from Alicia so they got home safe and sound. Boring drive she said. It is a long 12 hr drive - remember when you used to move around in the car? I remember my dad made a 'step-thing' for the back seat and laid a plank on it so that we had the whole back seat to play on. We put a blanket down with our pillows and we could play or sleep on it comfortably. We  often crawled over the seat to the front and back all the time - well, maybe I did and my brothers watched. Guess that was the advantage of being the youngest and the smallest! Nowadays, kids have to sit, strapped into their car seat. No moving around. BORING!!!

Anyway, back to our routines. Sun is shining and thankfully, we missed all the snow that Calgary got yesterday. It feels like Spring here although there is no guarantee that we won't get snow again!

Just a few reminders of our visitors. They may have left for home but we are still thinking of them.
