8.14.15 #FamilyFirst… Still.

As much as I would LOVE to be at Barwis (or ATI as my hamstring heals), there was a family party at my cousin Shannon’s house.

Even though she is NOT related to me, she has ALWAYS been my cousin.  Our moms were best friends in high school.  She has ALWAYS been “Aunt Linda” or “Auntie Lindy” as I call her.  Shannon has a brother and sister and they both are from out-of-town.  It had been SO long since I have seen either of them that I felt it was worth it.

And then there is Bubbe. Both of my grandmothers are dead and she is Shannon’s grandma.  She married a Jewish man and I’m not Jewish but she lets me call her “Bubbe” too.  So I do.

Shannon and I have ALWAYS taken TONS of pictures.  We’ve taken selfies LONG before it had a name!  We took with Sean (who is 13 now):

We replicated this pic 13 years later:

Again, I would LOVE to be at Barwis (or ATI while I heal) but I had TONS of FUN at Shannon’s house!!!
