This weekend

My folks were in town this weekend. We sent the past few days:

wandering the boutiques of Whyte Avenue, hot dog stands for lunch, Farmer's Market, "the bug museum", home cooked meals, bacon & egg fry-ups for breakfast, soccer on the grass outside the patio (with a particular little boy), art supply shops (and new pencil crayons!), flowers picked and bought, cups of tea, and copious amounts of jelly bears!  

I am enjoying living in a new city. When my parents come to visit, our time spent together feels like a vacation for me, too. Living away from family causes me to appreciate them so much more. Visits become special and adventurous. Magical, even.
