Today was a GORGEOUS DAY!!!! Non humid,breezy and perfect for the beach. Christine called and her and I went and spent the better part of the day...fun in the sun. It is so good to finally see Christine clean. She is back to her old self and I have missed that.....of course for the first few days of detoxing her words..."I HATE REALITY"...but it got better like i promised her. So now, I have to find her a good man.....any single guys out there??

The reunion went well. It was actually nice. My grandmother, who everyone knows, hasnt seen eye to eye with me for as long as I can remember....told Mark, when I wasnt around...."You have always been welcomed here and in our family." Which I thought was very sweet. My uncles played their guitars and I even sang a song with them....Great to feel "Home" again. If only my grandpa was still alive and there....of course I am way to big now to have sat on his lap, but I wouldnt have charged him my usual fee of a nickel to sing for him like I used to do....I would have charged him much more cause these days you cant get a good piece of candy anywhere for a measly nickel. LOL.

My dad was happy that Mark and I could be there. I could see it in his face. I think he didnt think we would come...but I have come to learn...that my dad and I DO have a special bond....it's simply not spoken....but we both feel it and know and I love him very much.
