My parents left for a long weekend in Boston. Which is good, I think they need more downtime to enjoy themselves. That's what you are supposed to do when retired. And this has been a crazy year for them, with my transplant and helping my sister deal with everything in NO. The only thing that sucks is being home alone for a few days. Tends to drive me a bit crazy. Though I think I might drive up to see my friends Brian and Emily in Hadley this weekend.
