The ones who came up to visit us we got to know better, but hardly anybody will come up here. Too far and too costly. Now my husbands family is all from MO and we rarely see them for the same reasons. I have a daughter on East Coast and my son is in Japan. I'm in the middle but still don't get to see them often enough!

She also has a family house in upstate NY and it was there she found the letters.

And I know you will enjoy it once the making ready is behind you and you can just sit back and enjoy each other.<br /><br />enjoy!Lynn Cohenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12094038275377357886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3706571093501032722.post-35832730481320340542009-08-01T12:38:54.976-04:002009-08-01T12:38:54.976-04:00Eight people, two dogs, two cats and an assortment...Eight people, two dogs, two cats and an assortment of toys lived in my house this past week. My daughter, boyfriend, new granddaughter, boyfriends' son all visited every day. <br />I had help with the cooking and cleanup but I can tell you as much fun as I had my 60 year old body is feeling it today. The last of the visitors goes home. I will miss them. I have lots of pictures and memories.<br />My garden needs work and my studio has been calling my name, quietly all week.<br />Have a wonderful time with your family. :)BeaBeahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05825249325749004937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3706571093501032722.post-459991367490632562009-08-01T12:30:16.166-04:002009-08-01T12:30:16.166-04:00Hope you have a wonderful time hosting!

I think it's because I've never had enough space or time to myself. I also know it's because I'm shy and very 'uptight' about using the bathroom. TMI!!!!<br /><br />I hope you enjoy the whole deal Mim! I know what family means to you.<br /><br />Tomorrow I'll see my oldest sister in Milford. First visit since we landed. We'll have an early (me) birthday celebration with just a few of us. I hope the sun shines just as it is today.<br /><br />have a blast Mim! And yes of course we'll have art lessons in the barn.
