If you have sensed in my last few blogs that I am heartily tired of gray skies, you would be right. However another jolt of sunshine burst into my life today. Yesterday I wrote about a trip I hope to take in September or October. Today, my west coast brother texted me to tell me that they are planning to come visit me this summer, and (and this is the frosting on the cake) my nephew and his four children will also be coming. These are some of my favorite people anywhere so I am thrilled. My brother and sister-in-law will be coming from the west coast, of course, and my nephew and his children will be coming from their home on the east coast. They think my place would be a good 'meet in the middle' place to get together, and I think so too. Some years ago, when my nephew and his family were moving to the east coast, they broke up their cross country drive to visit with me for a while. My youngest great-nephew was three or four at that time, but in his text today my brother told me that my great-nephew "really liked that lady who lives in a hotel." I think it's interesting that that is how he remembers my 10th-floor apartment, and I am so pleased that he remembers me. So glad to have this sunshine in my heart to enjoy during these gray months.
