Family Connections
In the past few weeks I’ve had the joy of reconnecting with my Aunt (whom I call Mom) and some of my cousins. The girls and I went up to where she lives this past weekend. It was only supposed to be a day visit, but ended up spending the night. Partly because their were some nasty storms in the area, but mostly because we were all having such a wonderful time together!!
Mom and I had time to talk, something we’ve always enjoyed doing. Her youngest boy took the girls to the park, and to pick out acouple of movies to watch. They watched their movies, played on Mom’s piano, played with the dog and cat, climbed all over their “Uncle”, and had a great time. They got completely spoiled with snacks and junk food, and all the attention! *LOL* I’m not sorry though, I think it’s awesome that the girls have that family!
I myself have missed Mom and my “brothers and sisters” more than I could have guessed. I think I said in the previous post, that through the years we kind of lost touch with each other, but somehow I don’t see that happening again…Visiting Mom again, talking and visiting with her, it felt like coming home…Know what I mean??
We were sad to see the weekend end, but already have plans to go back up in acouple of weeks. And we do chat on the computer now, almost every day, so that is nice.
Uncle followed us home when we came…He came down to do some fixing on the girls’ bikes. It made him a hero…*LOL*…And he was down last night too. He’s knows a lot of people so he’s going to try and sell my riding lawn mower for me. Fixed my Zippo lighter…He’s a good kid!! I still think of him as my little brother, just heading off to kindergarden…*BS*…Now he’s all grown up and heading off to college in the fall! He’s grown up to be a fine young man!
Well anyway, time for me to go. I’ll do another update soon.
