What a nice few weeks I just had! My mom and sister came to visit us for 12 days and we all had a good old time. I missed the menfolk (Dad and Stephen, and Gus too) but I enjoyed it just being us girls. Alex baked and Mom cooked, we watched Freaks and Geeks and some movies.
We went to the Henry Clay Estate in Lexinton, the artisan town of Berea, and the art museum at the University of Kentucky. Friends in KY: I've linked these places because they are pleasant and affordable things to do when family's in town, so check them out! Also, I never thought I'd eat decent seafood in a landlocked state, but we dined at Regatta Seafood and it was quite good.
Their visit was strategically arranged around the debut of the last Harry Potter book; that is a whole other entry! I'm very glad I shared the experience with two devoted Potter fans.
It was hard to see them go. I feel like Alan and I are pioneers sometimes-- living in a strange land, not knowing when our next visit from family will be, finding and befriending other sojourners to adventure with, only guessing which place we'll land next. It is not without heartache and struggle, but I think I'd regret it if we never wandered at all.
Thanks, Mom and Alex, for braving the 11 hour drive and the untold horrors of West Virginia to see us. We love you.

You stated it beautifully and accurately -- we are sojourners. Sometimes if feels yucky, but overall it's worth the discomfort. Thanks for letting us journey with you!
