They're coming!

Yes, they're coming! Three of our four children, that is. And two inlaws as well. They're coming from Ohio, Missouri, and Arizona. We're sorry that one son can't make it this time, as well as one daughter inlaw.

They're coming providing the weather allows them to come. We're having what I call a severe winter, at least that's what it seems like. Not as bad as some places in the country, I know, but bad enough for someone who's skin, and blood?, seem to be getting thinner as the years pass by.

Anyway, we're hoping everyone has safe travels both coming and going back again. We're planning for a great time together, as our family times are. Lots of talking, remembering, and just plain relating. We don't argue, much, or fight. There were always rules about that. We'll sing, if Dad gets his way, eat, go to church, etc. We're not planning anything one might call "special," except just being here together.

We'll sure miss the ones not coming, but now a-days its very hard to find a time when everyone can make it. To find a time when children, grandchildren, and greats too, can all be present for a family get-together is becoming more difficult. Oh, I know some families are able to do that. I guess we just haven't hit the right buttons or something. Maybe sometime it will happen again.

So I may not come back on this space until after the last goodbye is said. Hopefully it will be to report a very wonderful time. Until then I remain -

Pilgrim on the way
