Hey fellow travel adventurers, I've missed you. It's been a few weeks since I posted anything to the blog. During that time I did a bit of traveling of a different sort.
I had a death in my family -- I lost my dear, sweet, Aunt Katie, my father's only sibling and traveled to Michigan to be with her family.
Deaths and funerals are so bittersweet. You're saying goodbye to a cherished friend or loved one which is sad, but they also serve as family reunions.
I saw cousins who I haven't "seen" since I was an infant. They shared stories and recollections with me of my mother and father (who passed away respectively when I was two and six years old, so my memories of them are few.)
We shared stories about my Aunt, who raised seven children and many of her grandchildren. She was one of the strongest women I ever knew, with a keen wit and incredible sense of humor.
She was a treasure to me in so many ways and I will miss her dearly.
So that catches you up on where I've been and what I've been up to.....and now we can get back to discussions of the kind of travel adventures that are much more entertaining and offer memories of an entirely different kind.
