July 17

My parents left this morning at 8 am and my heart is a little sad but I am glad they are heading home from their travels since Mom retired from teaching at the end of the school year.  It was nice seeing them again this year.  The surprise is still looming large in my mind this day, I feel at ease.  I just wish that the could have stayed a little longer to meet one of my IDS workers but they came in and said their goodbyes and I got my kisses from Raven pup before they walked out of my door to wait for another visit another time.  I am sitting here waiting for my IDS worker MJ to arrive to make meals for the week.
