This is a photo looking into my parents' apartment as I was leaving this evening. It was what I call a "drive-by" visit - I came from work to take my mom to a doctor appointment, then to the grocery store, then when they headed to dinner I left. I always feel a little sad when I leave. They're basically ok and do very well together in their apartment, but there are always things that need to be done. I live a little over 2 hours away so I always try to cram a lot into a visit. Fortunately we'll be there on Christmas Eve eve and I'll see them again on Christmas Day, then I'm hoping they can come home with me for a few days over the New Year's holiday.
