On another Note....

My Aunt Cathy is down from NJ today. She's my Mom's younger sister. They say I look just like her. I'll take that as a compliment, I always thought that she was quite pretty and very funny. I'd like to think I inherited her sense of humor, also.

My Mom had been sick recently, having a pacemaker put in her heart. So my Aunt Cathy is down for some moral support and to see Mom its been years. Actually its the first time she has come to NC to visit. I believe its been about 12-13 years since I saw her last. My Aunt Cathy is married to my now Uncle Isaac. She use to be married to my Uncle Bobby years ago. I still think about my Uncle Bobby from time to time. My cousin Robert looks just like him. An nice mix between my Aunt and last Uncle.

Uncle Isaac is a nice addition to our family. A very smart man, intelligent to extremes. Jewish to boot. And he loves my Aunt Cathy..So that works out well. He is lucky to have her. :) She is so very smart too, making a great company out of her business. We have always considered her the smartest in the family. Either that or just plain lucky. But someone once told me, Luck doesn't come on its own, you have to go work hard for it. And that's what I'm sure she did. Work very hard!

We were all raised basically Protestant or Catholic or no religion at all. Everyone has always done their own thing. My Aunt Cathy converted to Judaism when she married Uncle Isaac. They had a daughter "Sarah Kate", who is wise beyond her years. A terminal student. I believe she will be the first 'female' President of the United States. My Cousin Robert is caring, and heart felt. When he was younger he was involved in Green Peace. I always gave him so much credit for being part of something he believed so strongly in.
I have to admit, I have lost touch with him, so I'm not even sure what it is he does now. I'm sure its something important if I know Robert.

I'm really excited to see my Aunt Cathy. I want her to meet my grandchilden, and get to know my 3-daughters. I feel like I've talked about her all my life to my kids, and now here she is, live for them to see and talk to.
I'll catch up with her and Mom later tonight. We are suppose to be getting together with her tomorrow night at my sister Karen's house. Swimming, hanging, eating and such. Sounds like a good time! I know you wish you could come. :)
