Oh, Boy, What A.....

....joyous and fantastic weekend with my family!  Our annual family reunion with whoever can attend was this past weekend.  I'm completely exhausted and my voice is hoarse, which signifies a perfect time with my vociferous and fascinating family.  We came from near and far -- Washington, Texas, North Carolina, California, West Virginia -- and descended on hot and humid Indianapolis and had a glorious time.  My family, so smart, so funny, so quirky, so willing to engage in any conversation and not shy away from speaking our minds.  I just love us.  Only regrets:  we only do this once a year and we all live too far away from each other and the time passes far too swiftly.  I'm so grateful that everyone made the trip....memories worth savoring when I'm feeling far away and missing my peeps.

Rusty, who should really be named Velcro, did not weather the weekend as well....poor little guy....needless to say, he's happy I'm home :-)  

Enjoy the fabulous feet of some of my family and have a remarkable day :-)
