Hope everyone had as great holidays as us. I know it's pretty cold in some part of this country, but here in Arizona, we are enjoying above average temperatures. I'm not knocking it, it's been wonderful.
The holidays are officially over in our household. We had a wonderful time in California with our daughter, son-in-law and grandsons. The boys have grown into fine young people who are now taller than me. We ate too much, drank more than normal, walked on the beach, laughed and thoroughly enjoyed being with each other. At least I think so The visit was entirely too short, but then they always are.
We came home from California to news that my brother Jeff and his SO, Joy was coming for New Years. It's been too long since we've last been together and it was a blast. My brother is a hoot - he loves to have FUN and fun we had. We ate, ate, ate, bar hopped and laughed our way through five days. I need a vacation from our vacation.
They left this morning and just like my daughter said when we left her place, the house seems empty. The laundry, however, is piled up but today the Christmas decorations went bye bye so all that is left is memories.
At least they're happy memories. See you later for more Aimless Ramblings.
Sunny,

Hi Sunny, glad you all had such a fun time. We too are back to an empty quiet nest. Missing grandgirl now....
ReplyDeletelove Jan, xx
Your celebrations sound wonderful Sunny. Family time always seems to go surprisingly fast. We are having a blast with D1 and little J here. The house does seem empty when they leave, even though we enjoy some quiet time together.

You had quite the good times this year, Sunny. And no snow! There is always the laundry to contend with. All good things must come to an end is sadly true. I hate goodbyes to folks you love.

Hi Sunny, Happy New Year to you, Ray and family. Sounds like a wonderful Christmas and New Year with family. Happy for you!
ReplyDeleteGlad too that you are escaping the terrible weather and temperature. Summer here of course, but mother nature is also throwing in colder days and rain.
