It Is All About Family

When I take time to step back and try to figure out where I got where I am today, the common thread is family. Spending time with my mom's side of the family this last week-end made that observation even clearer. Between blooming dogwood trees,

 visiting with cousins, a surprise anniversary celebration,

 a birthday celebration,

 a photo walk with my brother,

 quality time with my husband,

 gathering around the table to solve the problems of the world with family over coffee and leftover birthday cake,

 and a stop at a moving Memorial Day celebration at the cemetery reminded me... it is all about family.
