Friday night, Mom left the back door open. A visitor (Meg) snuck in and surprised her. While she was standing there with her mouth opened, the front doorbell ran. As she went to answer it, she realized it was Brendan!
Dad came home and was doubly surprised as well. Then Clare came in, and while trying to get her coat off, she felt some 'helping hands' around her. Thinking it was Dad, she gently suggested he let her finish the job. The hands were insistent, so she turned around to find: Brendan!
A fun dinner was had by all. Then the young folks and Brian left the house to find Meg's friend Tom. He was in Syracuse because he had a film in the festival.
But first, a stop at the airport. Maureen was flying in to see the folks and help Brian pack. As she waited for her luggage a man came up behind her and asked, "Twizzler?" She turned around to find: Brendan!
A fun weekend all around. Including a long lunch with Munjed who treated us to a wonderful meal and a nice haircut for Brendan from Mirvat.
Great weather and conversation. Wonderful to see everyone. Brendan still knows how to get that terrific photo with his tongue sticking out. It's a gift!
Love ya, Meg

SURPRISE! SURPRISE! SURPRISE!
My heart was jumping for hours.
The 4 youngest all in the house at the same time . . . a rare event.
Add in Brian - who left his work on 3 papers to join us. He finished early this a.m., having never gone to bed.
Now all is quiet - and boring - but I can almost hear echoes of their visit. Brendan - safe and sound - Deo gratias. mom
You all look great! What a great gathering - hope we're part of the next one!
