Although having Thanksgiving here feels beyond my capabilities, I don’t want to risk bed bugs.
It’s getting to be bittersweet. Of mom’s three grandkids, one is about to go into the Navy (we’re all proud), one goes to college in another city and doesn’t want to move back to her home town and the other is making plans to move up and away. I’ll cherish having everyone together for the holidays as the kids go out into the world. It goes by in the wink of an eye.
Well I better keep moving. Warm wishes to all and hugs to those that are struggling.  |
Bed bugs are terrible! It's good that you won't have to risk them by going to your sister's house. I hope she gets rid of them soon. My husband and I slept in a place with bed bugs in Peru several years back. We knew it, so we left our luggage in the garage, immediately washed the clothes and ourselves, then super sanitized our luggage. We got lucky that we didn't have problems because of those precautions. I also slept in a hostel that had them in Taiwan once. It is miserable!
My siblings are only one year apart, but are 5 1/2 and 6 1/2 years older than me. I remember my sister got married at the same time my brother went off to the navy. My parents were then left with just me. However, when I finally went off to college, they both quit smoking, lost weight, and their relationship improved. I'm not sure how to explain that.
