VISITING WITH MORE FAMILY

This weekend, starting on Friday nite, was spent visiting with my sister, Claudia, and brother-in-law, Jimmy. The drove in from Louisanna to see Mike and I, plus my brother, Billy,his wife Betsey, girls MaryAnn and Andrea, son-in-law Aaron(yes, they are THE Cott's) and the grandson, Ryan. Jimmy was showing off his new EBAY purchase...a GREAT BIG diesel Chevy Silverado! Very Nice! He also did some shopping for Claudia(NOT on Ebay), a big juicy bauble! Nice work Jimmy!
It was great to visit with my Bubba and Sis. They always make me feel so loved. The conversations we all had! WOW! The nieces are super smart AND entertaining. It's hard to believe they are ADULTS! That makes ME old! (That was the theme of many talks we had..how our perception of "old" has changed the older we get!) HUH!
We ate too much; had too many margaritas; talked about old times-old houses we lived in-new happenings in all our lives; and watched a little football. All crammed in to a 24 hour period. Claudia and Bets were going to church and shopping on Sunday...sorry I missed it. Mike had to get back home to do the Christmas lights and you all know I have to supervise!
Tonight will be spent on getting the Christmas Cards addressed and stamped for send out tommorrow while we watch more football. Go 'Boys.
FYI...the new Cowboy stadium in Arlington is GINORMOUS! (too bad WE will never be able to afford tickets to that thing!)
Til next time, don't forget to love on all your family every chance you get. Communicate,validate,appreciate!
