Yesterday I made the long drive to Benicia to visit with my cousin Linda and her family. I say long, but it's just because I'm a wimp. It's actually only about 1hour and 20 minutes, but I'm used to being the passenger and not the driver. Since John works on Saturdays and I really wanted to go see Linda, I went alone. I got there a little after 11:00 and planned to stay until 3:00 so that I would be home in time for Johnny to take the car to work. Well, we were having such a nice visit that before we knew it it was already after 1:00 and we'd hardly scratched the surface. So, I called home and after my MARVELOUS son and husband worked it out, they told me to stay and visit as long as I wanted to, as long as I was able to pick John up from work by 11:00 (in Elk Grove). So I did :) I actually stayed until almost 8:00! By the time I got home, poor Jordan was starved. She's such a good girl though, she was just happy that I'd had a good time.
One of the main reasons for my visit was to share my reading with Linda. Since I couldn't figure out how to turn up the volume on my new digital recorder, I told her that it probably wouldn't work listening over the phone. So, I mentioned the volume problem the moment I arrived and her (smarter-than-the-average-bear) daughter, Rachel, asked to look at it and within a second hands it back to me and shows me the button to turn up the volume. Little booger! I cracked up. We proceed to listen to the recording and it was great to bounce things off of Linda because she saw some of the things George said a little differently than I did, and it made more sense. She also was able to help me with some of the names that he mentioned which I didn't recognize.
Then, we had a delicious dinner of BBQ ribs, corn on the cob, and potato salad. YUM!! Afterwards, we relaxed in the living room and watched the Giant's game. It couldn't get any better than this! I love being able to talk baseball w/Mondo (Linda's husband), he loves the game - and especially the Giants, about as much as we do :) Then there's Gabby (Linda's oldest daughter) whom I haven't mentioned yet. What a beauty! She was apparently going to sing something to me before I left, but I guess it was forgotten about. I will definitely have to hear it another day, from what I understand, she has an incredible voice.
Well, as you can see, I thoroughly enjoyed myself and can't wait to return for another visit. But next time, John is driving. I'm pooped today because of it, but it was well worth it. Love ya cousin!
Peace to you all ~ Love, Genie
