Yesterday late afternoon everyone left the ranch except Ken and me. They all left to return to San Antonio as David needed to put in a full days work today to finish up his year. The ranch is very quiet without those children so Ken and I spent all evening at our Top house reading our books and getting used to the silence. I have heard of parents welcoming the departure of the children and grandchildren after a holiday season but I have never experienced the sensation, perhaps because we always stay in our own place. This morning we drove to the lake to organize our belongings for our return to Mexico on Saturday.
Our life is complicated, always getting clothes packed or unpacked. We keep clothes in every house plus we leave supplies with David and Suzanne just in case we stay with them for a few days when we first arrive. We put Allison out of her room when we stay with them. She says she doesn't mind, but I mind putting her out of her room so Ken and I have decided to stay at a hotel quite close to them when we remain in San Antonio. It is much cheaper than buying a condominium!! For the number of nights we stay in San Antonio each year we could stay fifty years before we have exhausted the down payment.
Tomorrow we will all be together and celebrate the New Years. It's going to be a dance contest on Wii. Andrew and Christina and the girls leave early Saturday and we do too. Poor Suzanne and David and the girls get to pick up the pieces.
