I have missed most family get togethers over the years. We tried to go home at least once a year but that wasn't always possible. Most of the time we lived too far away. Today we are going to my Uncle Tommy's house. I expect to see lots of relatives and eat lots of great food.

My parents live in the country. Lots of green grass, trees and bugs. It feels good to be home, in spite of the ticks that keep finding their way to my person. All the kids are totally grossed out. Morgan yelps in fright every time she sees any bug at all. Last night there was a moth in our room. the way Morgan was acting you would have thought it was going to eat her. :)
