GOODBYE

We sent the family off this morning to LAX.

We had a nice three day visit.

Just right.

We had them leaving at what seemed to be on the early side.

This is a good thing.

The corollary of "always leave them laughing" only, in this case, I think, it is "always leave them wanting more".

I have had my share of visits that hit their best part on the next to last day. There have been one or two which hit their best part on the planning for it and went down hill just after arrival but that is another kind of story.

There were two parents and two (larger) grandsons. All fit as a fiddle and interesting and enjoyable to be with. They managed their own time and respected our occasional need to be alone. The sign of the really good guest.

On top of that we get to see a family in full thrive. I guess that is the way to say it. Thriving.

Very nice and nicer because they are related and we have known them for awhile. Some since they were rather small people.

In this case, a rather long time.

Old friends.

Goodbye.
