Family visit
Just a reminder about the Six Word Memoir I wrote about in the previous entry... if you would still like to submit your Six Word Memoir, it's not too late. I'm going to post them as an entry with links to the authors by Saturday (tomorrow) evening.
So please, think of six words that summarize some aspect of your life, your philosophy, a period of your life. If you would, post them in the Six Word Memoir entry, not here. That'll help me out a bunch when I'm compiling them.
My goal to write one entry every day this month is going to end Saturday night due to some time I am taking away from the computer. Don't be alarmed that I'm not posting, but I will be back soon.
If you haven't been by Caroline's journal,A New Adventure, do stop by and give her a big hello. She has moved into a new-to-her home, and is thrilled with it, as I was when I saw it a few weeks ago. I really love the yard... her new home is surrounded by trees, a pond, and a variety of plants. I know that once she gets settled in, she will feel like she has gone on vacation.
I bought a 4 GB memory card for my camera... you might think that way more memory than I need on any given day, and it is. I learned real quick that a 1 GB was not enough to make more than a few short clips. A 2 GB held me through two days in Baltimore with my son about a month ago. I'm pretty sure I have close to an hour of footage all total on that memory card.
When I learned that I'd be visiting my sister and her children, and her grandchildren, I knew I would need a bigger memory card, so I bought a 4 Gb card today. And if that gets full, I can always fall back on the 2Gb, and the 1Gb... I'm all set for making family movies.
And I'll probably take a few pictures. Like this one of my nephew Tom and his three boys, triplets. They are only three years old in this photo, the last time I saw them in person. Nineteen months ago, Tom and his adorable wife Becky visited us. Tom has a twin sister who will also be with us, and her four kids. I've only met two of her children... at Tom's wedding several years ago... she has been good about sending me pictures of her kids over the years. Tom also has an older brother, Tim, a younger brother, TJ (he has three kids), and a younger sister, TC. You can imagine that this Aunt Bea has lots of catching up to do with her nieces and nephews and their kids.
One of my favorite reality shows to watch on TV (The Learning Channel) is called Jon and Kate Plus 8. It's about a young family who first had a set of twins (girls), followed a couple of years later by a set of sextuplets (3 girls, 3 boys). Eight kids all under the age of 7 years old. My, my! I watch it because it reminds me of what Tom's house must be like sometimes with their crew of three: Avery, Brody, and Casey. Well, it's probably not quite as intense as J and K + 8, but I'm sure there's never a dull moment.
But more than anything, I'm looking forward to seeing my sister again. She makes me laugh.

okay!
I loved the pictures of the nephew and thanks so much for the link with Caroline!
Incidentally what brought her to England? Did her mother in law fall ill or was it a happy reason?

I'm so glad you're getting a chance to visit your sister, and I hope you get lots of chances to visit all those nieces and nephews and g-nieces and g-nephews! I love J & K +8 and thank God that I only have two kids! lol

I look forward to seeing the 'six word' entry.
