Our daughter came to visit for 10 days! She lives in Houston where she plays French horn in the Houston Ballet Orchestra and teaches horn lessons. We go down to visit her several times a year and she usually visits us at least once. This is the longest visit since she graduated college.
It's always wonderful to see her. She always brings a measure of chaos with her. Our kitchen gets taken over by gluten-free items. She is also very into healthy eating -- lots of fruit, veggies, smoothies containing fruit, veggies, and assorted powders -- so the refrigerator is filled to bursting with kale, berries, spinach, fruit juices, etc.
She moves back into her old bedroom which then looks like the closet exploded all over the room.
And she talks. We hear all about her life, her friends, the people who drive her crazy, the students she is so proud of. And music - lots of talk about music and musicians.
We miss her when she leaves. But now that we have a grandson and she has a nephew... well,, she's coming back in August!
Sounds like a whirlwind has entered your house, but one that is truly loved. Enjoy your visit. A nephew is definitely a good reason for mor frequent visits.
ReplyDeleteA whirlwind is a good way to describe it! It's been very quiet since she left. And she just got hired to play with the Hawai'i Symphony for two weeks in August, so we may not see her as soon as we thought. But we're very happy for her!
DeleteYour daughter sounds like a force of nature! How fun it must be to have her back in the house with another visit planned!
ReplyDeleteYes, she is a force of nature and we are swept up in the wake! We love it though.
