Yesterday I spent the afternoon and evening at my Cousin Patty’s house.  She had a BBQ in celebration of her daughter’s birthday and graduation.  It was so nice seeing Patty and Eileen and Maryann and Ann Louise.  I rarely ever see them.  We agreed to get together on September 23rd at the donnavilla for a BBQ.  I hope they really do plan on coming.  Patty got out her photo album of her wedding.  Believe it or not, I was her Flower Girl.  Looking at the pictures of our grandmother, their mother (my Aunt Mary), our Uncle John, I got all teary eyed.  They have all passed away and I miss them all.  It was sad but also very nice to remember the bonds.
