Family

I love the way my family functions - and I'm not being sarcastic. A distant relative whom I had never met is traveling though South Dakota and wanted to visit relatives who would be traveling to my home town, which is about 1.5 hours away from where I live, so my aunt in Minneapolis worked to get her hooked up with a place to stay. Notice I did not say hotel - no, a place to stay as in our homes. Since we're leaving for California tonight, I volunteered my home.

So last night when I arrived home from work, there in my driveway sat two relatives who had been in the family for years, but none of us were able to meet before this weekend. They have been driving from Portland Oregon for the past two weeks and the woman (Vonnie) is a hoot!

But, like I said, we're heading out of town for a week so chow - have a wonderful July 4th - and I'll have lots of stories and pictures to share when we return
