Hello and welcome!

Have a great Labor Day weekend!

We are going to my hometown for this long weekend, where we plan to spend some family time with my dad, stepmom, as well as my sister and her family. We'll also visit my dear 78 year-old grandmother, who's not been feeling really well lately. She's in great shape, but she and her 84 year-old partner moved condos over the summer, and as we suspected it proved to be a little much for them, despite the help they got. She's also unfortunately been having a lot of family-related heartache in the last few years, something we so wished she had been spared from, but all know is taking its toll on her health and well-being. She got admitted in the hospital last week for uncontrolled elevated blood pressure, and it was again a reminder that I should not take her for granted!

She's back home now, I'm really looking forward to spending time with her, and I hope that seeing LP, my nephew MO, and her great-granddaughter in my belly will cheer her up a bit.


Back here on Tuesday.

Enjoy your weekend and your time with your grandmother. Makes me think that it is time to go and see my own. You are right, we need to take advantage of the time while we have it.
