surprise

I've had several things I wanted to post here, but I keep running out of time.  Or I just keep forgetting.  Which one to start with?  Maybe something happy...ha.

Last night we went to a surprise party for my aunt.  A bunch of us crowded into a tiny restaurant and waited for her to arrive.  She did,  and was properly surprised.

It was crowded (big family and lots of friends in a teeny tiny restaurant) and it was hot, but it was fun! This side of my family is so much fun. There is so much love when they all get together. Everyone is happy to see everyone else and it is just a good time. And normal. It is just so normal. I am so glad we went.

So there mother dear....they are not weird, or strange. They are one big happy, normal, family. I'm so sorry you didn't see that when we were young. It could have been fun...
