Welcome, friends!

My mom and Aunt Jackie are visiting from Vermont since Thursday night. Boy, we have shown them a good time. On Friday, they babysat while we worked. On Friday night I got sick, and they helped clean everything up. On Saturday, Austin and I were both sick and they entertained the baby... oh wait, that's what they did today, too!

At Midway Farm, we show our visitors a good time. Thankfully, we haven't gotten either of them sick... yet.

Still, I do hope that we will all be able to leave the house tomorrow and maybe even all have our appetites back for a meal together. I really can cook things other than toast.

However, predictably, even illness and bad hospitality has done little to dampen Jo Jo and Aunt Jackie's enthusiasm for watching the Tucker channel. He, of course, is thrilled with his enlarged fan club and is hoping that they are a permanent addition. Today, no less than four adults loudly applauded his efforts putting the pieces in a puzzle. His grin said that the world was as it is supposed to be.

It will be a sad day when the fan club leaves!
