Mom has gone back home. We dropped her off at the airport this afternoon and she is heading back to California.  Is was a wonderful time having her here and the boys especially enjoyed the visit.  We got to see a few things, show her around a bit, celebrate Christmas, New Years and her 82nd birthday.  All in all a wonderful time.

And now I have my house back. I love my mom with all my heart, but there is something about having your own space back that makes things nice.
