The Family Reunion was a success, naturally, and I think everyone had a great time. I don't think anyone left hungry. We got caught up on everyone's family and met new additions as well. I'll put a couple pictures on the blog so you can see what a wonderful and beautiful group of people I came from. Dave and Sue went way beyond the call of duty and we all want to thank them for letting us use their house as our base. And Sue, you're a great cook and hostess!!

So, I hope we'll make this an annual affair, then, and we can keep tabs of the ones who went on a diet as soon as they got home and the ones that didn't.(was that ugly?)

The first picture is my daughter, Leigh Ann and husband Rick. She's having their first child in May!!! Then there's my son, Rusty, with an exotic praying mantis on his finger. More pictures

coming as I get them out of my camera.

Finally, some cool nights! This has been a l-o-n-g summer but I can feel winter comin' on. 3 months from now I'll remember this mornings post and think, "what a fool I was" wishing away all the warm days for all the cold ones. But that's how we are, that's life.
Work has has been going well and I stay busy most of the time. I thank God every morning for my good health and pray for all those people whose kidneys don't work anymore and have to spend 4 hours a day 3 days a week getting their blood washed. I've become aware of our many blessings that we take for granted, like healthy kidneys or good eyes and ears, things we never think about as a blessing. The patients, though, are grateful to have kidney machines so they can live a normal life the other 156 hours in their week.
Looks like I've waxed philosophical this morning. I'm sure that won't last long and I'll be back to my normal light-hearted and whimsical way.
Later.
