Family

Recently we traveled to visit some extended family a couple of states away. Family means everything to me, and I've come to know that the reason for that is my parents always put emphasis on family. We were (are) a pretty tight knit family, my parents, sisters, and me. We spent holidays with grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, great-aunts, great-uncles. There were various family reunions to attend and occasional telephone chats with far-flung cousins.

As the cousins grow up, and people move farther away from their "roots", I see this changing. When my great-aunts and -uncles are gone, will we still keep in touch with their children? I was lucky enough to be brought up with old-fashion traditions regarding family. And I intend to do my part to see those traditions continue.

Museum visits

I'be been kinda busy lately, so haven't been blogging. I spent a few days in Memphis with my parents, sisters, and nephew. Unfortunately my husband had to work, so didn't get to join us. The first day, my sisters, nephew, and I went to the Pink Palace Museum. We've been a couple times before, although not in years. Unfortunately, J was scared of the animatronic dinosaurs. He was interested in the miniature, hand-carved, working circus though.




The next day, along with my parents, we went to the Childrens' Museum. But don't be fooled---just because it's a museum aimed toward children doesn't mean the adults can't have fun too!














Who says the whole family can't have fun wherever you go?
