We spent Saturday with cousins. We were together for hours, but it seemed like minutes. Can't remember the last time we were all together - a wedding or a funeral, I am sure. It was so good just to be together because we wanted to, not becuase we HAD to. I have to say, it was worth the round trip from Long Island, on the tortuous Belt Parkway, the evil trek through Staten Island and the always frightul crossing of the Outerbridge. Thank goodness Mr. Wonderful has a wonderful sense of direction - he could write for Map Quest - AND NEVER GET YOU LOST - (nor will he send you to the same place twice the same way!) The man has a navigation system in his head! But, I digress..
The good thing about cousins is that we can make fun of each other, ridicule each other, tease each other, and comfort each other - all in the same sentence! No subject matter is sacred - we can talk about ANYTHING (or anyone!). Thank goodness for email and cell phones. We are closer now than ever - even though we are usually separated by over a 1000 miles.
We will come together again for weddings and funerals - but nothing beats getting together just for the hell of it!
