A birthday supper for Tim had us all around the table here. Nice to have the family together once more before I start the trip back to PA. Dimetrios ate yogurt which he liked way better than the pot roast or the cheesecake.

Tim and Elijah went out in front of the house where young, next-door neighbor Schuyler came over to hang out and exchange some buddy time with Elijah. They miss each other.

It is hard to leave all of them, yet it seems the right time for me to go on my way. Valerie's health has improved a lot, and the house is well along on prep. I'll miss them all so very much.
