Day 31... Stuff I love a conclusion.

Of course there a LOT more things that I love and I will get to them at a future date because I have really enjoyed this weeks project. I wanted to round off the week with the great cliche.... I love my family.
I mean they drive me CRAZY. Really and truly right around the bend. But that is what families do. I am still grateful for them and all their insanity. And I am extremely thankful for days like today when we sit around the table drinking tea, picking on each other, laughing with (at) each other and celebrating together. Today the occasion we were celebrating was my Grammy's 81st birthday. I love my WHOLE family of course but my Grammy is very special. She has lots of grandchildren and some great grandchildren. She's got nine kids and a husband who requires a lot of attention. But somehow in the midst of that she makes me feel special and cared for and a part of something. The marvel of that is this... she doesn't HAVE to so any of those things. I didn't start off life as her granddaughter. There is no bond of childhood memories that we share. We didn't meet each other until I was almost 14 years old. We never went to court and got a piece of paper to say that we are a family. She just took me and excepted me and loved me. They are my family, she is my Grammy and I love her dearly.

39 Again!
