The Party is over! :(

After several weeks of non-stop company including nice long visits from both the grand kid families AND a three day family reunion at our house....everyone is gone and it is quiet .......and somewhat sad here.

I collected the chairs from where they last were sat in on the lawn and put them back around the table. 
The only activity out here now is Mark's birthday balloons swaying in the breeze.....

I had a good laugh after all three of the grands had left and I discovered they had left me a Raspberry Pie near the sandbox.....

 And, of course, the other thing left for me was all the laundry.  It was three loads just to wash the sheets and towels.......

Ah well, I have lots of great memories too (but not so many pictures this year).
