So long, holidays

The holidays are over.  Mark and Julie, with Lily and Oliver, of course, caught a plane for North Carolina a few minutes after 7 this morning (Wednesday). Jessica and boyfriend River left this afternoon, flying to Durham, N.C.  From there they will drive to Alexandria, Va., to visit River's parents for several days. From there Jessica will return to Duke and River will head back to LSU to resume their studies.

The house has never been so quiet and felt so lonely.  It will  most likely be several months before we see any of them again, except by Skype.

 Two weeks ago my brother Jon brought me a jar of cane syrup.  He grew a little cane and found someone with a syrup mill to convert the cane.  It triggered memories of when we grew lot of cane and made syrup for use and sale.

Jon also brought a bag of satsumas from his tree.  It was good timing because the grandchildren, Lily and Oliver are gluttons for citrus fruit; they ate them,  everyone.
