This and That

Wow, it has been awhile since I've written. I've been pretty busy. A week ago, my aunt and cousin flew in from Georgia to spend the week. My cousin comes every July and I know my mother really likes having her here. My mom gets to do things that she knows I wouldn't do!!! It is a refreshing change for her. My cousin also really likes to cook and has the opportunity to try new things. I'm pretty set in my ways and don't venture to far from my favorite dishes! One year, my cousin decided to cook some recipes from Julia Child's cookbook. My word it was fantastic! This was also way before I had my bariatric surgery and didn't care that the food had a pound of butter!!!!

This year, my cousin asked her mother to come along too. Mom took them on the usual local tourists things and then the four of us went to DC and spent the night. I really had difficulty in DC this time. I don't typically have a problem getting around since I've been there many times but for some reason, I just could not get my bearings. It also didn't help that the Metro station that we usually use was closed for repair. That just threw me off. The most enjoyable part of the trip for me was going to the Episcopal church's National Cathedral for church. It just felt right. I miss church. I felt closer to dad whom I still miss terribly.

My summer if finally winding down and I look back and try to think where has it gone? I actually have not had time to become bored. The rest of this week and next week, I plan upon doing absolutely nothing but enjoying my last few days!!!! After all, school will be here soon enough and I will be complaining for a break! Take care until next time.
