I arrived yesterday about mid-day and just visited with my aunt and uncle all day, with a drop-in visit from my cousin Robert, one of their 4 children. We've reminisced, looked at old pictures, read old letters, and tried to catch up on the 10 years since we've seen each other. Today I'm waiting to hear from my partner in geneaology research, cousin Andrew, whom I've never met in person. We're going to spend some time today or tomorrow driving around all the old family sites.
I'll have more to say but when I leave here sometime Sunday. Right now, I'm enjoying being with my wonderful aunt and childhood role model, Celeste. She is 8 years older than I am and when I visited the farm she always involved me in her teen activities - basketball games, all her high school friends, etc. I felt so grown up back then and everyone treated me so special. Now we are both in our 70's and she's still treating me like I'm someone special! I'm loving it.

I think I need to pick up on Monday, 9/30. After talking on the phone with my Aunt Rachel (age 91) who lives at Nazareth, KY (next to Bardstown), I decided to backtrack and visit her. She has been a Catholic nun since 1944, and is now retired...
- Dinner On Patrick's Day
I had a wonderful evening and a delicious dinner last night. We ate at a big long table set up outside and later moved over to the fire pit where the burning logs felt so good. Of course it's usually constant laughs when I'm with this...
