houseguest......

ok, so there is something special about having one's child come home for the weekend........when such overnight stays haven't happened for awhile......the temptation is to pull out all of the stops...with food especially......to mother this child again for a few golden hours........it takes me back to the days when this child was first starting to talk....and we hung on his every word........yes, we do raise out children to move out into the world, fully capable of taking care of their own needs......but having the opportunity to have them back under one's wing for even a short time is priceless......
