I'm home from Missouri, and to those skeptics who thought I was being a bit melodramatic about the long arm of Grandma...(cough...Ya-Ya...cough)...when we checked into our hotel, we discovered that someone had called 15 minutes earlier wondering if we had arrived yet. Next year I believe I'll be equipped with a GPS device so Grandma won't have to worry.
We had an excellent time at the family reunion. I got to see all my favorite relatives. There was a lot of good food. And Uncle Bob came through with the cooler of Heineken's. My favorite part of the weekend, however, might have been Saturday morning. Thanks to the lack of kids and dogs and the hotel's WWII-era black-out curtains, I slept until 11 a.m.
The only drawback to the weekend was that no one wanted to be in charge of next year's reunion. Someone made the executive decision that grandma's granddaughters should all do it. Two of us live in Minnesota, one in Illinois, one in Kansas, and one in Oregon. One does live in Missouri, but a good hour and half away from Independence.
So? Anyone for a road trip to Minneapolis next year?
Well, I miss my relatives already. It was great coming home though. The Senator was glad to see us too. The Governor, however, took one look at us and reached for Nana. Sorry, kid. Everyone hates to see the party come to an end.
