Family time
Well, life is starting to settle back to normal now that my mom and sister have left… it was a tough adjustment at first (some tears, I’ll admit it), but I’m getting back into the swing of things now. We had a really wonderful visit- they were here for 10 days, and although we didn’t do tons of sight-seeing, we got to spend some good quality-time together. The first weekend we spent in Bad St. Leonhard chez the Schriefls, being fed and pampered by them. They were extremely good hosts and took good care of all of us. During the week we returned to Graz and just did a lot of shopping, walking around, eating and of course chatting (and napping). The last weekend we decided to skip Vienna, as Catherine had a bad run-in with some Indian food. Instead we went to a pool just around the block and spent the day swimming and relaxing (and reading fashion magazines).
Even though it was sad to have them leave, it felt like a renewal, just in time for spring. And it was less sad in that I am going to be spending a couple of weeks at home in early August- very exciting! Here are some pictures from the visit:
