We had a good family day Saturday. We were at Mark and Crista's home and it is very unique and special. He designed and oversaw the work on it and it is a very interesting and beautiful house. It is always nice to see cousins, second cousins, once twice removed or whatever they are. Good to catch up and find out what they are all doing and about their families. Family stories and pictures. It is strange, when you don't see someone for many years, how easy it is to resume the relationship you used to have with them.
Harold learned all about teasing and tormenting his nieces and nephews from his Dad and Uncle Glen. The kids learned that Uncle Harry promised the grandkids a pony just as he promised me one when I was little. They were amazed that he pulled the same stuff on us as he did on them. Remembering when Scott was little and sang in the choir and Dad used to stay up late to hear the Christmas eve broadcast from Stillwater so he could hear his namesake, Scott Glen. Scott says he doesn't sing any more, but Harold's granddaughter does. Beautiful voice and wants to be an entertainer. She is in the Oklahoma production outside Tulsa for the summer season and is happy about that. She was in the Miss Okla pageant and won the talent contest. She is a pretty girl, Marks youngest, I think. Kathy's oldest, the one born with that horrible disease that made her skin blister when you touched her, is graduating and wants to play college basketball, but hopefully she won't. Kathy says she goes to the games with her needles and gauze ready to patch her up if they tear her skin. She is a pretty girl, as is her sister. Tony, Bud's son, was there with his wife and they are nice people. I didn't visit with them too much, but he is successful and a happy man. Pat Nimrod's family didn't come because they were meeting someplace west for their own reunion. Maybe next time, he said.
They asked about everyone in the family and we touched base with all the relation they know about that we don't know.
All I know is this, family is special. No matter how often you see them, you enjoy them and love them.
We missed all who weren't there and we did talk about you!!!!
About Me
- Rosella
- I just love life and everything that goes into it. My church is important to me and my work in the larger church is my delight. My family is my lifeline, especially my precious grandaughters and my new great grandaughter. Well, my kids are right up there, too. I own a business that my daughter and I began over 20 years ago. She left me with it when they moved to New Jersey and it is why I get up every morning. I have been blessed with good health and happiness and enough money to have a pleasant life. God has been good to me.
