Cousins Come for a Visit

Monday, February 13-Wednesday, February 15, 2017
What fun we've had the last couple of days!!!!  Len and Sarah Muller arrived Monday before supper and left early on Thursday morning.  We had set up the motorhome on a lot here at the park where they took up residence in the evenings and early morning, but the rest of the time we talked, ate, walked and had a terrific time sharing together.  It was hard to see them leave.

We took them to a few of our favorite restaurants including DiMaggios That's Amore for a wonderful Valentine Day dinner and of course to Parksdale Farms for a strawberry sundae.  Here they are posing on the strawberry throne with all the garb on.

Sarah has been doing a lot of genealogical research on the MacRae side of the family so we had lots to talk about and I had lots of pictures and other stuff to share that I've gotten from my mom.  Her dad, my mom along with 2 other sisters made up the MacRae family that we all came from.  Since her dad and my mom did loads of stuff together while growing up including double dating there were many stories that could be shared that either she had heard or I had about life when they were growing up.

We'll be back together again at the Cousins Weekend in October and possibly do some visiting of cousins in Ontario in September together.  We've been in contact with several as the result of one of our grandfathers nieces dying suddenly right after Christmas.  She had been sharing things with us and Sarah had had several long conversations with her in the month before she died.  So many family members were writing tributes on her Facebook page that we were able to make some new connections.
