It's just been a week since we returned from France and yet it feels like a month. Back to work and busier than ever. Ruby got to hang out with Marie again, which made her incredibly happy. Grandma Pat was here and then left, with Lissa and Ralph--but not before grandma played with Ruby and my old tennis shoes.

And we all had our fair share of the stomach bug--Pat on Saturday, David on Tuesday, Ruby on Wednesday and I choose the best time of all--Friday night and going into the wee hours of Saturday morning.

The only thing we weren't able to squeeze in, due to general exhaustion from dealing with stomach bugs, was the Solidarity Feminist Retreat, happening right now.
