Oh my goodness it was good to see her again. Growing up, we were friends first, and cousins second. She is the main reason, I am so insistent that my grandchildren get to know each other becoming friends and cousins.
During the years of our youth, every summer meant spending two weeks together, one week at Kathy's parent's house, and one week at my parent's house.
Our daughter and her family have a camper on land a few miles down the road. On Friday night, we had a campfire, which was a great time for our daughter and her family to really get to know Kathy's son and his family. It was so interesting that they all have snowmobiling in common. As they got to know one another better, they began making plans for a snowmobiling weekend at the cottage. They laughed and giggled because the Mister and I wouldn't be around, as we will be in Arizona for the winter; and they'd have the cottage to themselves!
Both Kathy and I just smiled. Because of this weekend, we now know that the next generation will also be cousins and friends.
And the beat goes on!
Kathy and me being 'young at heart.'
It was just like old times, laughing and giggling.

Good for you! You are a Christmas gift!!:)
ReplyDeleteHow fun! My granddaughters met their second cousins for the first time this summer when they were visiting us. I agree with you that it is important to make opportunities for the next generation to get to know each other.
ReplyDeletereally nice pictures muffy!!! but if you love kathy so much, why are you choking her!!! (sorry, i couln't resist!!) and i say that because i know you "get" my sick sense of humor!!

oh I loved this post!! good for all of you!! loved the pics too!
ReplyDeleteIt's so great to see your families staying close, hard to do these days! You live in a beautiful place and I'd love the snowmobiling.. I think! My husband is the opposite, he grew up in Florida and complains about our mild winter. The pictures of you guys are sooooo good!
ReplyDeleteOh Muffy, what a refreshing sight to see. I too, love for the kids and theirs, to get to know one another and above all, stay in touch as true friends. One of the boys just accidentally met one of his cousins he had not seen since he was a kid. They made 4-wheelin' plans for Labor Day weekend. We cannot wait to see them together again.
ReplyDeleteIt's such a fast world and the closeness of family and friends is essential to stay grounded. Loved this heartfelt entry. You two are hilarious. Loveit!!!
