Memories ~ a way of holding onto the things you love, the things you are, and the things you never want to lose.

Happy Saturday Everyone!  I hope your weekend goes well. We have another beautiful Fall day here again today. We are sadly in need of some rain but the weather has really been beautiful.  We had a wonderful time last night playing Canasta with my brother and his wife.  He and I are the only two siblings left from a family of eight.. I am so happy that we live close so that we can visit. It's hard to feel that you are cut off from family when you grow up as close as we were. I pray that if you have family that you won't hesitate to tell them how much you love them for there will come a day when it won't be possible to tell them...
I love this quote by Erma Bombeck....

The family.  We were a strange little band of characters trudging through life sharing diseases and toothpaste, coveting one another's desserts, hiding shampoo, borrowing money, locking each other out of our rooms, inflicting pain and kissing to heal it in the same instant, loving, laughing, defending, and trying to figure out the common thread that bound us all together.  ~Erma Bombeck

Y'all have a wonderful weekend and spend some time with family!
"Till Later.................
