My Mom and Brother Came to Visit

My mom and brother came out for the second time, again over Veteran's Day. My brother arrived a few hours earlier than my mom and needed a nap; the red eye is always hard.I think this was the first time Josh had lobster this way. Just the tail doesn't count. My poor mom was totally grossed out.
The Muddy River park is near my apartment.

Many of the leaves had fallen, but we still had some great color. There was an amazing orange tree behind this amazing yellow one.




It was warmer than last year at this time.
Downtown Crossing
Billy started watching me knit, then fell asleep. Napping is contagious.
Boston Common at the swan boat pond.
Greg took my mom and me to Connecticut. (I can't wait until he gets his hair cut. The end of November marks one year of growing it out, and a haircut is in the works.)



My brother stayed longer than my mom to see an old friend, and ended up getting sick. We spent the last couple days watching movies and lounging around in my apartment while Josh guzzled cold medicine. I washed everything after he left, but I can feel my body fighting off what I assume is the same cold. I'm currently drinking chicken noodle soup that I've made slightly ridiculously spicy. Still and all, it was a wonderful week, and it will tide me over until I get home for Christmas.
