I am excited thinking of see so many of my Chicago relatives next week for a special luncheon. Then the laughs will punctuate the serious talk, the food will be shared and enjoyed and we will make memories for us all to savor. Cameras and camcorders will help our memories capture details we might otherwise forget to share at a future gathering or over the internet.
Bless our hosts for this mini reunion. There will plenty of helping hands, hugs, belly laughs and reminescenses. I smile even now thinking of the wonderful noise we will make, the smiles and laughter, little ones here and there and our Otto and Marthe reigning over the festivities. See you soon Kremsreiters, Smarjes, Maxes, children and young ones. Soon. Oh, boy.
