RELATIVES

Being with relatives can sometimes be taxing, especially if you have nothing in common.  Not true this week.  My nephew, his wife, and family, and his sister were here all week.  Wow.  They are the sweetest people and I enjoy them so much.  I wish they lived closer so we could get together more.  Their oldest son just graduated from high school and the next son will be a senior this year.  They will soon have two college men in the family.  (That can be very expensive)  They like to joke about getting rid of him, but I know they will miss him so much.  They have a daughter that is going into 7th grade and an eight year old son. Both are so personable and easy to love.

We had dinner the other evening at Rainforest Cafe at DTD.  That is a very noisy place, but the food was good and we enjoyed just being with them. Laughter is such a great commodity.  And, when we get together we have so much to catch up on and to laugh at that it is such a joy when they are here.

His sister seemed to enjoy being here too.  She took advantage of the lower tax amount here and bought some thing she had been saving to buy.  I got to spend some time with her, even though I tire easily.  I hate that part of my condition and hope it changes soon.

Ween saw her eating a yogurt this am and thought she would get some of it. I warned her that Ween thought everyone fed her like I did.  You have to tell Ween  NO! IT'S MINE.  Otherwise, she thinks everything is for her.  She did get to lick the container.  That's almost good enough for her.  Sometimes I think its just acknowledging her being there.  Sometimes, she's just being plain spoiled.  Usually the later.
