I got to one of my Uncle's kids house's that had a long enough driveway to fit my house and car. About oneish was my timing and we hugged and just visited. She had all ready got food done for the gathering saturday. My uncle came by to say high and bring me my mail, then we met another cuzzin and had supper, well thats 2 cuzzins out of 10 that will remember ok.
I got to help that sat. morning take all the food and decorations for the gathering. It was a early day for my regular routine, but survived. A friend of my cuzzin helped, we did some good stuff. took turns in coming back home and getting ready for the event after making the place awsome. The graduate picked up his own cake and that helped with the timming in getting ready for guests.
The family started coming and a few friends as well. I had seen pictures of my Mom's and kinda felt I knew them through the years. It was amazing and a joy to finally meet my 1st cuzzins on my Mom's side. Luckely their huggers like I am. I did get the batterie charged the night before in my camera, so I could get as many pictures I wanted without getting frustrated. They all cooperated in setting with their families seperately, then took alot of other ones.
Well it was a long day but very awsome day. I slept in sunday. Went and visited with one of the cuzzins and had a good talk. then got back to where I'm parked and rode along with another cuzzin to drop of her granddaughter in Grand Rapid, MI. which gave us time to visit. Picked up pizza for supper on our way back. Visited awhile and turned in.
Mon went to see another cuzzin and my Uncle treated us to supper, which was really good, enought to take back home to have for lunch tomorrow. Left there in time to visit with yet another cuzzin and both her daughters. Getting a one on one is helping me remember who is who and what they for a living, and their personalities..
Tues I didn't have plans so just got cought up on input into my family tree program on the computer. Tomorrow will be going on a gambling bus to spend time with my Uncle and another male cuzzin is going so that makes it nice, to be able to visit with him as well.
Well have to get some water in my tanks and see about calling another cuzzin to see tonight.
Till next time Carrol
