The Family Spice of Life

Variety is indeed the spice of life, and when I think of my immediate and extended family of this I don't have to think twice, with my three other siblings and all of their clan at our nephews beautiful outdoor Aug. 27th Maryland wedding, my younger sis unfortunately not making it because of her hectic work schedule meddling, while me, myself and I from my side was the only one to make it, hanging out with them once again was nostalgic and a memory keeper, with our beautiful Mom turning 80 in 4 months she is still a wonderful dancer and social greeter, promising us she would get her arthritic hands checked out by her family doctor, and being lonely we are hoping she'll meet very soon a nice elderly gentlemen caller, who will never replace our deceased Dad whose been gone over 2 years and who was our brick and mortar, and despite the fact that were all spread out all over the eastern USA map as we go through each personal strife with the different spices this life throws our way, I hope and pray as we go through each day, that the love and good memories and fondness for each other will always in our hearts and minds remain.
