My mother was just here for a couple of days. She got here Tuesday night, later than scheduled, and left Thursday afternoon.
In between, we mostly just talked, in varying combinations of people -- at least once, I wandered into the living room and found my mother,![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
cattitude, and adrian_turtle talking. Wednesday morning, we all went for a long walk, so Mom could see the neighborhood, and enjoy the cool day, ending at Coolidge Corner, where we bought bagels and smoked salmon. When we set out, I expected to turn back fairly soon, and probably get home well before them. Instead, we all walked down Beacon Street, talking and looking around, and enjoying a comfortably warm morning.
This was a short visit, because we expected to still be somewhat frazzled from the move; her being here for only two days made sense because my mother was combining seeing us here, and my brother in New Orleans, with attending a wedding in Niagara Falls (postponed from 2020). We all want the next visit to be longer, but we will figure out how long, and when, sometime after everyone has caught their breath.
