Family Travels
This is a road trip summer for me. It began with a trip to southern Illinois to see a cousin that I saw almost 60 years ago. It was great to meet her as adults, and to spend valuable time with her and the family. That connection is important to me and it was worth the time - every mile of driving! Got to travel half way with a friend to meet her friend and spend the night as well. If you know me at all, you know I am an observer and love to meet people - I'm one of those people who never "met a stranger". Next trip was with my lifelong friends to a place where people live all of their lives - Pennsylvania Dutch country. We missed one of us terribly, but hope to catch up with her for next year's journey. Lifelong friends are truly your family of choice. Also fun and full of laughing! Lucky enough to rent a farmhouse. Unlike slumber parties of old, there is no sleeping in bags on the floor - we each had our own rooms, in comfy beds! A little wine, a little cider...pig...
