Today my Mother and I drove up to a little town outside of Gettysburg, PA, to attend a birthday party for my Aunt Mary. Several of my cousins were there and some of their children, and their children's children. The two newest members of the family were there as well. My cousin's granddaughter Mya, and one of my other cousin's (she's the same age as my daughter) little son Luke. Babies are good to be around and these two were very happy kids. My Mom especially loved seeing the little ones.
My cousin, the 1st grade teacher, told me she reads my blog everyday. I said "I hope you don't tell the rest of the family about all the weird stuff I write about." She said "no, just the family stuff; but the rest of the stuff I totally understand." I always thought she sensed things too. We'll have to have a talk one of these days about that.
On the way home we stopped by the cemetery but Mom didn't want to get out of the car. I think she was tired and it was foggy and she didn't think she would see well enough to walk. I went by myself up to my Dad's grave and had a little talk with him.
The picture is of my Mom's family (all except the last brother who probably wasn't born yet). My Mom is second from the left and her Mother is the woman on the right side tending to the littlest one.
I hope your night is dark and peaceful.
