A Texas Thanksgiving.... Oh, What a ride!
Met new 'cousins' (married to my 1st cousins) and I adore them. Met my newest cousin (1st cousin-once removed------my childrens' 2nd cousin.) What a doll.
Watched my children disappear with their cousins...only surfacing for meals and game times...love that every single person had someone to play with.
Saw the Gparents... realized just how old they really are. Felt extremely sad having to repeat myself for the 20th time for my gran, who couldn't remember what she ordered for lunch.
Became even closer to my Aunt and Uncle, and realized how ironic life can be.
Felt the agony of another's struggles, and found myself in constant prayer, or rather--a pleading for peace and strength on behalf of another.

The family is one of nature's masterpieces.~~George Santayana
