Mildred and Bill leaving home for their flight to California.
I left from Logan Airport, Boston this morning with my parents. They will be visiting me in Seal Beach, Calif., for two weeks.
The 3000 mile, 6-hour flight was uneventful, although very tiring for my parents --- mother is 93, father is 90. They are still active physically and mentally and seem excited about getting out and doing a lot of walking while in Calif.
Although there are the usual hassles when trying to accommodate elderly parents, there is great joy in knowing that we have time to enjoy more cribbage games, more card games, more laughs, more history about their lives before I came on the scene. To have them around still providing insights and guidance is a blessing for me.

Cribbage and Sudoku are the games of the day.
