Hello all you people in the background

This weekend Wendy and I went to visit some of my relatives. It was sort of a family reunion on mom's side. My aunt who lives in Florida is in NC for her yearly visit. So my mom, her older sister, and older brother were all together this week in the house where they grew up. When I was young, my family would go visit a lot. Since we have gotten older we don't get to go too often, only on special occasions.

It was good to see my aunts and uncle and cousins and nephew and nieces, oh my. It is amazing to see children that you don't see too often because they grow up so fast. The last I remember seeing the children they were walking around a little bit, but now they are full throttle. Children are pretty funny until they start crying. I got to meet the newest addition to the family. She spent the time in her daddy's arms sleeping.

Plus you cannot go wrong with not-your-home cooking. There was a lot of variety to choose from and it was all good. I have to say that Wendy and my families do well in the food department.

Last night before we left, boxes of old treasures were taken out. The boxes were full of photos, cards, and other mementos. You forget how young you looked when as you see yourself as a baby. It is pretty weird to see your parents as children and teens. It is amusing to hear them say, "What was I wearing?" Just remember when your parents break out your baby pictures there are probably some funny ones of them in there also.

It was a pretty good week to see family on both sides. This week will be a work week most likely.
