Family Fix
On the road again! Back to Ohio for graduation. Christohper graduated from highschool, and it was so fun. When you are part of the preparation it really makes the day more special. Janet and Dave's house should be rented out for weddings and parties it is a perfect place. The gardens were absolutely perfect and the weather really cooperated. The "Aunt Farm" was there. That is the five Allen Aunts. We are all so different but so much alike it is scarey.
Thursday was party prep. When I arrived at Janet's we were both wearing tan capris and brown tops. We looked like twins. I am sure when we were shopping people thought how queer we were. Two old bags still dressing alike. Then on Friday it happened again. I wore jeans and a turqoise top, and there was Jan. I was looking in a freaking mirror. We had a good laugh. That has happened in previous years too. We might show up with the same sailor dress, or the same hair cut. It's so funny. You've heard the stories of twins separated at birth and their similarities are uncanny, that's me and Jan.We are twins six years apart! Then again, Carolyn,Debbie Beck and I did the same thing at the O'Maley Wedding. We were Susie's bridesmaids. Anywho, back to the Family weekend. It was working till the last minute, but we pulled it off. It was great. Seven out of the eight sibs were there, which is quite an accomplishment for how busy all out lives are. The cousins that were there are so cute ranging in ages from 35 years to 8 years old. Can you believe that? My God, I thought I was still 35. Jerry told our favorite stories and we heard some new ones.
I just hope I can still do this for my little Mac and Cassie. It was a blast and I loved every second of it. It just brought back many memories of our own graduation blasts. What a great reason to have a party! Bri with her Magician guy, which really turned out to be a hit, and Robby's co-graduation gala with Kyle and Johnny. And we made a pact to do it again when they graduated from IU. And we did. Such good memories and lots of fun stories. I was so happy to share that with my Sissie and her family. We have lots of great ideas for Tim's in two years.
