ANYways...another example of our spontaneity-we decided an hour before it started to go to my paternal grandmother's family reunion a few weekends ago (3 hrs away). I'm so glad we did. The family that was there was so much fun to talk to & see-some of them I hadn't seen since I was a little girl. My grandma's sister was there, the one that I remember thinking as a little girl was just like my grandma. And, I admit it was so emotional seeing her. She told stories, sang songs, bonded with Macy (Macy said when we left that she was pretty sure she was a lot like Gerry because they both liked horses & dogs & singing-kindred spirits), and reminded me of what my grandma used to be like. There were my dad's cousins & they were lots of fun to talk to-it's neat to make a connection with someone who knew your dad growing up. And, a couple of cousins from my generation were there too, Denise that I remember playing with at these very reunions when we were little! Now we have kids of our own!
The day was such a blessing.
(My disclaimer: The other side of me is the side that meticulously plans things, sometimes-often?-to a fault. Dear hubs was making fun of me & my mother because we already have planned out when to have this baby, when Nana will be here, where the kids will go, what she will cook...and I'm not due until March. It's all about balance in your life, right?)
Happy spontaneity to your life...or perfectly laid plans.
