I had better put in a word now, before I go incommunicado until Tuesday or so.
The anniversary/birthday celebrations went very well, though they were conducted in the usual frazzled manner with which my family manages events planned carefully but set up at the last minute. My dad, who feared no one would come to his party, was proved quite wrong, and he had a great time and lots of people came, including most of the relatives.
I feel quite limp from the festivities and from talking to everyone and from standing up for hours -- and also from the stress of losing my driver's license and then spending hours online trying to find a single phone number for the gas station in Illinois where I felt certain it had fallen from my wallet. Finally my librarian research skills paid off, I found the number, and the license was located and held for me. My brother drove me down after the party to pick it up -- a four hour round trip, ugh.
It's now almost 1 am and I still have to pack my bags so I can leave in the morning to begin my slow way home. I'm scheduled to be back home on Tuesday evening, and I will be so glad!!! Even though it has been a great visit, I want my own bed, and my hubby and my boy.
