Well, well, well

After spending three great days in the Mountains of North Carolina with my sisters, nieces, and nephew - I now find myself in a Holiday Inn somewhere in Philly - I knew I did not like Philly - apparently when it rains here they can't fly planes. Funny thing, they fly planes out of Seattle all the time and it rains there a lot! Oh well, I ordered some delivery - Spaghetti and meat sauce - hoping it is good! Salad and dinner roll come with it; how bad could it be? Can't say the added expense of a hotel room and all it incurs was on my agenda; however - it is the journey not the destination - though by now I was hoping to be in Malone watching over the ducks and scaring away the gophers. The time in North Carolina was really great! It had been way too long since we were all together. Oooh, food is here! Haven't eaten all day! Hang on a sec...pretty good spaghetti - not as good as I make but I had a great teacher. Mommie made some great spaghetti -OK, I am starting to come back to life - man I was hungry. Spaghetti is hot food tastes better when it is served hot.
As I was saying the time with my family was long overdue and well worth it. I went tubing - you ride on the tube as a boat pulls you across the water! Goodness, you have to do that! It is just a blast. I laughed the entire time I was out there - really cool. If I knew how I would put a picture up - maybe I will try to figure it out. My 7 year old niece, well she just giggled and laughed, no fear when your 7 - she rode that tube like a pro!
OOH, I don't have any dental floss - I can't floss my teeth tonight! Yuck!
I had a point somewhere in here - well, I guess it is that we all remember things differently - you know; "It's all in your perspective." And though we do remember things differently we still share so much. It is what we share which binds us - this is what to remember - we need to take care of what binds us and nurture it; we need to tend to our relationships - even that of someone who has a "revisionist historical perspective." Some people think that is silly, I just don't accept that. Every relationship has a value and a purpose - abandoning a relationship because some of the details are a bit devilish just seems too, I don't know - just not right - easier, sure, but that doesn't matter - easy is for wimps. Limitations are also for wimps. We shouldn't limit ourselves; why would we? Just go and try and do what you feel you can - when you feel you need to stop you stop. Our imagination should be the only thing which can limit us. I don't reckon our imagination has any limits. I love my sisters, just the way the are - the people they are - differences and likenesses - and I so enjoy it when we are together; we laugh - OK, they mostly laugh at my story telling; but Sandra Bullock does have a camp on Chazy Lake and I'll prove it! I don't know how I will prove it, but I will.
Our shared history, no matter whose version you hear, well, that is such a valuable gift! It is a gift and we need to remember the gift and be open to receiving it - The spaghetti is almost gone. I'm stuffed. I should save the bread for breakfast.
My point? What was my point? Shucks I don't know - just that we need to take care of each other; we need to take the time to be with one another - yeah, we are different people - but sisters are sisters and family is family - this is important stuff! Really important stuff! Is anyone paying attention? I am tired, better get ready for bed, except I can't floss my teeth - that stinks - Wonder where my luggage is? Do you think it will ever get to Burlington? Do you think I will? Yeah, sure I will - a day later and several dollars shorter - Ah, Philly - you beat my Mets but you won't beat me. Night!\
