The Circle of Life


Well, yesterday marked the "official" end of Summer. We cooked hamburgers and hotdogs and had the family come visit. I always enjoy family time, and feel so sorry for people that do not have family. Our family, although small to many, is growing. Sometimes it is hard for me to think that there is a group of 11 people that are together today because of a marriage that took place almost 30 years ago. Then when you add in the nieces and nephews and wives and husbands, the number starts to add up. It is amazing how quiet our house is when it is just the two of us there. While we are enjoying this new period in our relationship, I would not trade the chaos, loudness, laughter, and energy of the family for permanent quiet for anything in this world.

Just think...if you all hadn't gotten married you wouldn't have met me. Wouldn't that be sad! Ha ha, just kidding. But it is interesting to see what one marriage brings about.
