Keeping It All In The Family

Back from a wonderful Thanksgiving Weekend, and I hope you and yours had time to reconnect with the people who mean the most to you as well.

I am SO THRILLED that my aunt and uncle, Mary Linda and Harlan, have bought and started gutting this old house because we'll have a great porch for family pictures in years to come.

Something even more special about this house is that it still has family connections for us. My other uncle (by marriage to my other aunt in this family) grew up in this house. His dad, the previous homeowner affectionately known as Papa Horace, is the gentleman in the brown shirt -- smack dab in the middle of the crowd.

Maybe we'll manage do something about those bushes to make room for more kinfolk after moving day and once things settle down. That's one very cool thing about our family -- there's always enough love and food for more.
