Our weekend guests have just driven off.  It is bittersweet as very close friends and wonderful to have them here and show them around but as we do have school and work and a tiny apartment it is also good to get back to routine.  Sniff.

Am reeling from the news of Boston.  It is a sad portrait of humanity, (I am referring to myself here), that though bombs go off around the world daily with scores of innocents killed, when it hits close to home, we feel it so much more.  Nightly we watch the news and don't blink at all the children being massacred in the Middle East and Africa.  But one 8 year old in Boston is a tragedy. 

Off to school but will write about our weekend later tonight.  xxoo me
