Week-end "Hapnins"
The week-end was not as bad as anticipated, sister handled things a bit better this year, as did I, and I believe that the sunshine played a bit part in that. We did visit the accident site on Friday, which was NOT fun, but was necessary. Saturday AM we went Kayaking for a couple of hours to "unwind" and then we were off on our separate ways, she had family obligations with youngest and in laws and I had them with mine.
Family "B'day" party at In-laws; 90th for "great nan". I always dread these gatherings, my hubby has a very large and diverse family tree, I am always kind of scared to see what will fall out if the tree is shaken too hard. Well this Party brought out all the "nuts" in all their "red-neck, mis matched, foul talkin'" glory. Watching all of the 30 something grandmothers with there child's child on there knee, the 40 somethings with there 20 somthin' girl friends pounding back the beer and all the very bad behaved kids, being totally ignored by there own parents....made me very glad that I could leave any time that I wanted to and go back to the boredom of my every day life. It wasn't all bad though, I did get to see several people that I hadn't seen since our wedding, 22 years ago and Hubby seemed to enjoy interacting with his long lost cousins and bragging about our kids. I'm glad that he had a good time and it didn't kill me to smile at everybody and pretend that I knew who the hell they were. You'd think that after all these years I'd know them all but they multiply like rabbits!
