Can't wait to see you all!!

I can't wait to see everyone and visit!! I hope you are all planning on coming! It's less than 2 weeks away - yikes how did it get so close?!? I was thinking today of all the Christmases, Easters, summer fun and after school at Grandma & Grandpa's in town. So many memories of just doing regular kid things.
Staying at Barb's and going frog hunting and taking off our shoes and socks and stuffing the frogs in there hoping they wouldn't get out!!
Playing King of the Mountain on the big pile of dirt while they poured Grandma & Grandpa's new basement in town.
Getting snowed in town and helping Aunt Cathy & Grandma bake goodies! Working at the H&H one summer and "getting" to help them butcher chickens!! Lucky me!
Having Ireland Christmas at our house and going "skating" on the river. All the great Christmas candies & goodies everyone made! RaVonne with her fingers all covered with olives! Barb and I eating almost all the baby dills!
Getting old enough to play Kings Corners with Grandpa and then getting a spot at the table to learn Pitch! The roof raising from all the noise of us visiting at family gatherings. The food,food,food!
I love that I come from a big, funny, noisy extended family! I am counting the days til we get together!
Love you all!!!
