rushed home from work to get a chicken stuffed and in the oven for a family dinner… last night that Cyndi and Ron are here so we wanted to all be together…

they had taken the boys out for the afternoon while Crystal and Jeff got some shopping done…

last night I made the stuffing and a very nice gazpacho for our Souper Club at work so didn’t have to do too much tonight… made a Caprese salad, organized mashed potatoes and then Crystal cut up the chicken while Jeff mashed the potatoes…

some hot tubbed, some relaxed outside and some relaxed inside… dinner was very nice out on the deck and we toasted with some champagne…

great way to end the “too short” visit, although they have stayed here longer than anywhere else on their journey, lol…  we three girls spent some time discussing what to do with George’s ashes… it was interesting to see where each of us was for this discussion… one felt the ashes in a box just wasn’t right, another felt that putting some here and some there

as I write this Cyndi is moving around gathering things to be packed up so that they can leave first thing in the morning to reach Thunder Bay tomorrow night…

Ron has uploaded new programming for my computer and is also beginning the packing portion of the evening…

gonna be lonely tomorrow, Cyndi and Ron leave for Ottawa and Crystal, Jeff and the boys head out for a birthday camping trip…
