Out of town visitors

Yup, blogging in Fountain Hills right now. One of my aunts is leaving this morning to head back to Chicago.

She arrived Monday night. How she managed to get a cheap flight without an overnight Saturday stay is beyond me. And why such a short visit? I don't know.

So I had to take the day off work yesterday, drive up, and spend the day with her.

I don't mind that - she is one of my favorite aunts. But my grandmother's confusion added some fustration to our day. I took it in stride, my aunt could only shake her head. Then I HAD to take my grandmother and aunt to Scottsdale to see the new house my aunt "Lisa*" is trying to purchase (it's not quite a done deal yet).

Today is my grandmother's real birthday. Last night we had everyone over for a birthday dinner and cake. My cousin "Ann*" made an unannounced visit, tried to show how much she loves her grandmother, then darted out of the house before cake and coffee was served. Someday I'll explain why we'd all be much happier if she didn't do crap like that.
