Good things

greatbearI really shouldn't neglect this thing. I guess I don't have the desire to keep repeating myself. However, things have not been the usual grim nonsense, endless car work and busy-ness (though, to be honest, that's the bulk of the last few weeks). This past Saturday was Jeff's father's 70th birthday. As a surprise we flew in Jeff's sister and nephew from Texas and brought them to PA with us on Friday. Jeff's Pop knew we were up to something, but never considered this. Crystal and Michael don't get to visit very often, since originally they lived in upstate NY. After reluctantly moving to Texas for job reasons the prospects of familial visits seemed to go from very infrequent to near impossible. Hence, this little surprise made Mom and Dad's day. And then some.
The weekend was spent bonding, eating, shopping, eating, having the two catch up with other family members, and eating. I took the Canon and the photo printer with me to give everyone some keepsakes from the very special event. The weekend was filled with gorgeous weather and practically devoid of drama. Even Kodi got the chance to meet with his doggie sister at Jeff's brother's place (where lots of chasing, barking and simulated doggie sex ensued!). Jeff and I brought the two back to MD with us on Sunday afternoon, where Jeff and Crystal spent a nice long time together catching up while I entertained Michael with a butt-puckering ride in the Mini Cooper and talked cars, stereo systems and Black Sabbath. They flew out Monday afternoon, having the best time that they had in a long while.
Not such a bad adoptive family. I'm glad I have 'em.
