Family Gathering

Today is my older sister’s birthday. Since I’m in Knoxville and most of my family is here, we decided to go out to dinner to celebrate her birthday. My brother in law took us in his boat to the restaurant. It was fun riding in the boat. We had a good time getting there. It felt good to be with everyone and share memories of mom and celebrate my sister. Makes me wonder if we’ll stay in touch and get together in the future. Mom always worried that we wouldn’t get together when she died. We’ll have to work hard to make sure we all stay in touch.

Sunburn

Today is my sister’s birthday. Since I was already in Knoxville, I helped her celebrate her birthday by spending time with her. One of my other sister’s and I spent time with our older sister in her pool. We hung out, chatted, swam and had a good time. We were in the pool for almost three hours. I normally don’t spend any time in the sun but I was having so much fun I didn’t think about the time in the pool. As a result, I got a horrible sunburn. I haven’t been this burned since I was a kid. This is going to hurt!
