| | I attended a family reunion today. Yes, one of those univerally loathed events. Fortunately, it was more pleasant than most. My grandfather made me a special batch of Mexican cornbread today in
honor of my upcoming birthday. I must admit, it looked pretty funny on
the buffet table with those candles stuck in it. (Not the little ones --
they used the big numbers.) My cousins said hello, smiled, and hugged me -- so at least I wasn't totally ignored like I was at the invisible age of 11 or 12.  My oldest cousin and his girlfriend came with their baby girl, the 'surprise blessing.' (She showed up six months before she was expected, but she was full-term and healthy.) We found out just recently that she will have two siblings in December; her mom is expecting twins. This time they have the due date right, though, so no surprises!  Since we already know that one of them is a girl, the only surprise we're likely to get is finding out whether the second one is a boy or a girl. We can handle that. |
