We stayed Friday and Saturday night with my uncle, aunt and three little cousins in
Vevay, IN. My mom and sis happened to be there on Friday getting in a quick visit before Elaine starts back into school. We had a great time relaxing with the family. The kids showed off on their four wheelers/go carts/motorcycles for us with donuts in the yard. Mike even took me for a ride on the four wheeler. We fed chickens, goats, kitties, guineas (ask Mike what those are, he knows now) and peacocks. Mike even helped with some chores around the house - only out in the country do chores involve a fork lift and electrical wires.
I also got to see my grandma, uncle, and baby cousin. I'm so thankful that we were able to spend some time with my extended family. I don't get to see them too often, so it was a real treat to hang out with them for a few days and hear some of their stories about my grandfather, of growing up on the farm, and living out
past the boonies.
Now that is a machine. Those 4-wheelers are addictive, better watch out. Your Grandfather was special Megan and it is a shame you didn't get to know him better. When I passed I even mentioned it to your mother that I felt bad for both you and Elaine. I don't think I had ever met someone that loved kids and that kids loved easier than your Grandfather. You come from good stock... well at least on one side of your family. ; )
