Blessed silence

 They all left today--well, Tim left last night because he had an early zoom meeting for work--but, Josh and Cathy and their three kids and Mimi and Eleanor left half-an-hour later.

With just Bern and Brigit and me here, there is lots of silence--except for Public Radio on the radio in the kitchen.

You get used to silence.

But with 8 other people in the house, silence is not golden, it doesn't exist.

We love them all with all our hearts--but the silence tonight is blessed.

Easter and my birthday are over.

We're back to normal life.

Brigit has been relaxing all afternoon.

The last two days, as soon as she heard voices in the house she got up early and whined at our bedroom door to be let out.

Dearly loved having them here, but now things are quiet.
