Oops

LL so lovingly noted this morning that I haven't posted in quite some time.

Sorry.

I have so many fun pictures to show you all, but I've been entirely too busy to do anything about it. Rest assured, I still have the pictures and I will get around to it . . . eventually.

At the moment, I'm returning from a lovely vacation in Georgia. I got to spend some time visiting with my sister and her family, and my folks were there for a visit as well, so it was a double treat! My sister's oldest son, Bean, turned eight and was baptized a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and I was privileged to be with them all for it!

It was a fun, fun weekend. One of the best things about my nephews is just sharing hilarious conversations with them. In no particular order, here are a few things we discussed this week:

  • Allergies
  • Dairy allergies
  • How I can be so old, yet not correspondingly tall
  • Why I have no children
  • Why I am not married
  • Why we cannot marry our relatives
  • What happens if we drop porcelain
  • Why toilets need water
  • Why a fan is not a substitute for a toilet with water
  • My inability to speak Spanish
  • People who do not bleed
All in all, it was a wonderful, wonderful trip. I took hundreds of pictures (literally--I got out of control) so I'll try to share some soon.

It's always sad to leave my family. I love New York deeply, and it's good to be going home; the only thing that would make home better is if I could get all of the people I loved to live there, too.
