more cuzzins

Wed. Met with my uncle and one of his kids to board the bus to the casino. The bus was full except 2 seats. It took about 1 and 1/2 hours to get there with a couple stops to get everyone. After arriving just walked around a little and tried my luck or lack of I should say. The morning wasn't nice to me, but expected that. Still had some of what I budgeted before meeting my family for lunch, and a well needed break. We all ate too much and whished for a cot or large chair to settle infor a 5 minute powere nap, but nothing could be found.
The afternoon was much kinder and I ended up coming out ahead a little, which was really good. Decided to go wait by the door for the bus so wouldn't spend my profits... Got to do more visiting on our way back. Got back and my uncle showed me his garden and listened to some stories of how they made it with 11 kids back in that time, he had alot of extra jobs along with his regular job to make ends meet.
Woke up to rain on thursday and it slowed up in the afternoon so got to go and meet another cuzzin It was good timing, two of his kids were with him at his business... so got to see most of his family. After a nice visit, I left to pick up my Uncle have dinner get to know each other a little more.
Fri. met with one of the cuzzin's that I had already met a week before, but its been nice to have a one on one with each. She had a back yard that most people wouldn't like to mow, which is good for her cuz she has a day care business at her home.
Sat. Not anyone available to see today so decided to get some info into the family tree program. Each evening its been nice to be able to visit with the cuzzin at which I'm parked after she gets home from work. Needed to get more ink for the printer so found a WalMart with my gps... Love that little box that talkes to me and guides me to the address I put in.
Well today was Sun. it rained a little once in awhile but nothing that drove us inside. Had a cookout and watched while some basketball, dog playing and car fixing was going on and it was very nice of my landlord to check the air in my wheels and greese the kar kaddy barrings for me. With all checked out and ready for my travels in a couple days.
Its been a blessing that I have been able to meet cuzzins that lived clear across the states from where I grew up and it has been like I've always known them this past week. Knew their name for years and pictures that was sent to my parents and their stories of meeting them, so that has really been a blessing with this adventure that I set for myself to get done ASAP... Not getting younger and want to get to keep meeting more family along my travels, as long as I can.
I had help today in trying to understand facebook, and my space as well. Will be getting a little more help to get this information to stay into this old computer brain of mine. Still will need a cheat sheet to refer to after that.
Not done with meeting cuzzins yet, so will keep you all posted.
If you have a family member that you haven't seen or met, try and find them and at least E , write, call to find them. Family is wonderfull, don't take it for granted
Till next time Carrol
