Thankful for the RV!

As long as I can remember my Uncle Gene (& Aunt Velma, my mom's twin sister) have had an RV. All of us would get in and ride across the country. As a 10 year old it was heaven! Now, as a mom, I appreciate all the work it would have been to haul 7 people all those miles in such close quarters.  Mom & I had to share a twin bed on many trips and for that (& that she made it seem effortless) I THANK HER.  Last Friday (Veteran's Day) my Uncle Gene and Terrie and John arrived here in Santa Barbara. On that day, 61 years ago my Uncle Gene and Aunt Velma were married, their marriage was always one that I admired.

We had a lovely visit. Early this morning they were 'back on the road again' headed to Merced.

Today (being Sunday) was a great day for  Mom to lounge around and watch football. It was nice to have last week off of 'treatment'. Now we are ready for this week, the start of the 3rd cycle of chemo.

Jeremy checking out the RV!

Jonas was glued to Uncle Gene the whole visit! The other boys enjoyed him (lots and lots of LAUGHING)  too but Jonas was his side kick for most of the visit!

Jack was John's shadow. They had fun completing lots of projects!

I am thankful that my boys were able to hang out with our Merced family this weekend, hear all the old stories and soak in what wonderful 'stock' they come from!

PS we are still enjoying the home made ice cream that Terrie made;)
