So my time is almost up. Sadness. :'-(
But it's ok. I'll come back. :-)
It's raining right now. I love the sound and the smell and the feel and the breeze and the shiny wet pavement. It sounds like music.
I mowed the lawn yesterday. I haven't mowed a lawn in like six years or something. It was kinda nice. Say Im' crazy... but I kinda like mowing the lawn. I worked up a bit of a sweat and the cut grass smelled so good and I deepened my flip flop tan just a little. And yes, it is a flip flop tan, it's not dirt. In fact, as of yesterday where I wasn't tan I was green because of the fresh cut grass!
I went to two differnt family gatherings this past weekend. My Mom's Dad's Family Reunion (they have one every year) and the next day we went to my Great Aunt's Cottage on the lake (that is my Dad's Mom's Sister's Cottage on the lake). So I got to see a whole bunch of cousins and cousins once removed on Saturday and a whole bunch of cousins once removed and second cousins once removed on Sunday! Figure that one out. I did. I managed (along with some help from my cousins) to figure out who all of the people at the family reunion was and how they were realted to me and I even learned some new things about some people that weren't there. I have cousins in Seatle and some in Florida and some in Ohio... I don't know their names though... but they are all kids of kids or just kids of my Grandad's siblings. Does that make any sense at all?
Sigh. I have a LOT of cousins. My Grandad comes from a family with eight kids and most of them had three or more children. His sister had like eight herself and he had five and each of them have two or more children, my Aunt has four and my Mom has five... and that's just my mother's side of the family! Sheesh!
Well, enough rambling, I have a walk to tak to the mailbox around the corner in the rain and then some more cellar cleaning to do. Fun times, right?
