Things just keep looking better and better. Every time I think things might just get better…they do.
Joe and I went to see my family in Utah for the weekend. It was so nice to see my brothers and sisters again. It’s been a few months/years since I’ve seen some of them. I wish the kids could have been with me, but next year maybe they will be.
Joe was a great sport. My family all loved him which is pretty cool considering the sheer volume of them…….there were 4 siblings and their spouses there and about 13 or so assorted nieces and nephews. In fact, one of my nieces asked me to excuse myself from the Uno game so she could play with him one-on-one……that’s the kind of effect Joe has on people.
I don’t think I’ve ever driven long distances with another human being and had such a non-stressful and enjoyable time. Joe did quite a few impersonations of people and sang songs for me almost the entire time. I was awake, entertained and happy. He even fixed me ‘lunch’ type items to snack on while I drove. I really had a great time.
Here’s looking forward to a great New Year.
quick recap for the kids:
don’t give up…things can get better, utah was great, your cousins missed you, driving is fun with the right people, joe has so many talents you have yet to discover…..
so much love,
mom
