The Trip East

It’s Sunday, and we flew back home last night. The trip was long (three flights) but it went well. Other than a few mosquito bites I am none the less for it. It is always great seeing the east coast side of the family. They are so smart and funny and together; I must have been adopted, or dropped off on a door step. New England is so different than SoCal; it might as well be Jupiter. Trees and trees and trees surrounding houses, most of which can not even be seen from the road or by neighbors. We saw fireflies at night by the hundreds, beautiful creeks, small New England towns, a real general store, a bridge of flowers, bright red cardinals, lamas, and an actual bat.

It was wonderful seeing my sister and her family, and uncle and aunt and cousins. There is nothing like family. We paid a small tribute to my uncle Bob, who passed away earlier this year. I wrote a memory of Bob on the plane, but I didn’t get a chance to finish it on the trip, I finished it today and posted it on my site. Also, here is a link to some photos from the trip. Many a laugh was shared. Sorry Bill we tried as best we could to be serious, but funny can’t help but bust out when your around. We shared many a tasty meal and fine spirits. Better times where fewer had by mere mortals on this earth. I'm not just saying that.
