I had a wonderful visit back east to visit family! My sister came down in the beginning of the week with Ryan and Ashley. Besides a visit with an ol' Travelers friend, I really had a nice time getting my parents settled into their "new" cottage. The remodel looks wonderful! It was really a wonderful week, despite my mom thinking that I worked the whole time. Like her neighbor Lucille says, "Don't wait so long next time!"
