Pine Hills

I decided at the last minute to go to HomeTownVille this weekend to just drive around and do some much needed visiting with relatives. I got to spend a lot of time gossiping and eating my Gram's molasses cookies on Saturday and Sunday. I played cards, laughed and squeezed babies Saturday night. I even went hiking on Sunday with my dad and brothers.

It was nice to just drive around (thanks mom, for letting me drive the wagon) and stay as long as I wanted, or didn't want too, at people's houses and just relax. As much as I adore living in Chicago and shudder to think we ever lived back there not so many months ago, it is nice to reconnect with family.

Even if it makes me cry to see everyone getting older.
