Bill and I drove 9 hours to Mentor, Ohio over Labor Day weekend to see the parents and extended family: 2 brothers and their families. Pictured here, on the left, are Carolyn and her dog Cody (a shelter dog - yeah!) and, on the right, Kim and her boyfriend Mark.
That leaves one niece and two nephews to get photos of for another posting which should be by next September when our nephew Greg gets married. The wheel keeps turning. As it should.
My 2 brothers and their wives are the best, hosting us, as usual, to dinner at their houses. The weather was nice so we were able to eat in or out. Keeping up with everyone's activities is always a challenge.
This trip was the first to see Dad since his stroke in Sept., 2007. Also his and mom's first time to see me since my 5 surgeries since July 2007. We each thought the other would look worse than what turned out to be the case. It's nice to be pleasantly surprised.
Families are a blessing, and as Robert Frost so aptly said: "Home is the place where, when you have to go there, they have to take you in."
And, as Dorothy said (in my favorite movie), "there's no place like home."
