Makayla's Wedding

Here's a picture of me and my brother after my niece's wedding several years ago. I honestly can't remember what year (I'm getting old), so I'm going to send the link to my niece. Her memory will be better than mine.

Allan and I sure did enjoy our card games. We were both big fans of Magic: The Gathering. I have a lot of fond memories of afternoons and evenings whiling away the time playing, and just enjoying each other's company. What I wouldn't give to reclaim some of that time now. We never realize just how precious someone is to us until they're gone.

For this trip, I rode/drove with Bobo to Toledo with two other nieces, Katy and Lauren. We had a good time and a safe trip.

The trip home with Bobo, Lauren, and Katie seemed shorter than the trip to Toledo. We stopped at a McDonald's once for something to eat. I felt it was thoughtful and kind of mother to invite my two nieces on the trip. Those are the kind of events that make good memories, and I'm glad they had the opportunity. Now, in the tail end of 2023, I look back and those kids are grown up, and I'm past middle age.
