Top 10 reasons I'm glad Char & Heather came to visit

OK, it's been what, a month and a half? I was looking at pictures the other day and remembered I wanted to post this.

My cousins Char and Heather (actually 2nd cousins to me, as they are technically my mom's first cousins) came to visit and we had not seen each other in more than 30 years. I am too young to even remember the visit, but Mom had pictures. Elise is Char's 2yo girl, and she came too!

So here are the top ten reasons I'm so glad they came.

10. I needed an excuse to eat at Cracker Barrel.
9. You never know when you might need a foot doctor.
8. Elise is so cute!
7. Who knew vegetarians were so much fun?
6. DH grilled!
5. DH did the dishes so we could talk!
4. Wow, we had some great meals.
3. Elise's blonde hair, blue eyes, and high intelligence fit right in with the rest of the kids in our family. (They're all gifted, you know.)
2. I love any excuse to visit my sisters!
1. "One can never have too many kindred spirits." (Quote from Anne of Green Gables, but definitely how I felt after meeting Char & Heather.)

Thanks again, ladies, for taking the time and expense to come down for a visit!
