Life is Good

I've been mulling over in my mind over the last couple of days, trying to figure out what to "title this latest blog" entry. Decided I like this title, and you know why, "Life is Good"!!!!

Last week, my cousin Ann and her husband Ed stopped by visited and stayed with us. It was so comforting and easy. Kind of like we had known each other for years and we just hadn't seen each other in a couple of months. You must understand, this is the 1st time that I met Ann and Ed. It was such a great visit and we showed them around our little town, did some wine tasting and then hit cruise night for a little while.

As I have said earlier, meeting my sisters and brothers from my Dad's side was easy as well and we do some facial similarities, with my cousin it was just as easy. Found myself getting a little emotional as there was so much more similarity with Anne and I. The same olive skin tones, cheek bones, hands and laugh. It was so interesting to see how similar our husbands are in temperment and personality. My hubby told me later that if we had met when we were younger and single, we could of gotten into some serious trouble with each other.

They were out here in their RV on a quick trip from CO to Las Vegas. So they kind of made a little out of the way trip to stop by and see us.

We shared pictures, laughed and shared some tears (good tears). We are planning an RV trip with them next year and we have already talked since they left to head down South.

Life has its ups and downs, secrets and surprises. However, right now for me "Life is Good". Family discoveries can either be positive and/or negative. You cannot make up for the lost years, and you don't want to do the "could of, should of, would of". But there is something about sibling/family bonding that is so darn hard to explain to others. It is amazing to me how the "gene thing" is a real thing and unless you have experienced it, you won't and/or can't understand it.

I feel pretty dam fornuate to have my health, family and friends whether these people have always been in my life for years or newly discovered and/or re-connected. So I like the title of this one because "LIFE IS GOOD"!!!!!
