We had a great evening with Kendall's family yesterday. Three daughters, one son in law and two grandchildren were able to make it to join in the birthday celebrations. Lots of lobster, some wine (and single malt for Kendall), a beautiful cake made by Deb (middle daughter) laughter and just the joy of being home and in the company of people we care about. This was the antidote to the stress of the last week. I even got Mothers Day cards and presents, not expected but much appreciated.

We both managed to sleep fairly well, but will be taking a couple of days to recharge the batteries.
