It was just a quick trip to check in on MIL, but our 48 hour trip to Yellow Springs (Friday evening to Sunday evening) turned into quite the fun whirl. It helped that MIL seemed so much better than "now in a power wheelchair" seemed to suggest. In fact, I didn't see the wheelchair in action at all, so it was a good weekend.
We got in late on Friday evening and hung out Saturday. Then I had a long lunch with TJA (who lost her mom three years ago and has never recovered, and I fear that might be me). Then after everyone went to bed, there was an urgent invite to come to game night, so it was off to our old neighbors, where EVERYONE was there, and people were lining up to hug us like the prodigal returnees we are. Brunch with the Ms on our way out of town on Sunday, surrounded by all the loveliness of their Pottery. I don't need anything new at this point, but I did grab some stuff for presents.
Now Nu has been returned to their dorm, and I feel something coming over me. Hopefully, it's not something a few strong doses of turmeric tea can't fix. I'd like to say I've been traveling this weekend, not that I've been sick.
Pic: I had to borrow reading glasses to play Catchphrase, and people wanted a picture of me wearing these outsize glasses. I wanted to take a pic with SA, At's beloved 4th grade teacher, so this one is a two-fer.

Nice.
Those glasses are so huge on your face! I love it! I would look similarly. I have a child-like sized face. So when I used to swim, I had to buy children's goggles! I have a hard time finding sunglasses that don't look cartoonish on me!
I'm glad you had some uplifting moments during the weekend. The game night sounded so fun! I love game nights!
Your weekend was a whirlwind! Lots of good stuff and good people, and that's really what's needed, isn't it, when things seem/are dreary and plodding.
Fingers crossed that you aren't ill; no one wants a souvenir like that.
