Summer project

This summer's project which I worked on intermittently between getting Cathie moved and several other projects, was the building of a new entertainment center to accommodate a new TV that wouldn't fit in the old one. This one is a more open style which Bev bemoans the fact, as it will require more dusting. Guess I'll have to pitch in and help some with that.

Cousins

This past week I had the opportunity to meet one of my cousins that I've never met before. Danny Hughes and his wife were here visiting his 87 year old mother who is my aunt Lil. Danny is the youngest of Lil's three children and lives in South Carolina. The oldest is Ron followed by Janet. Both live on the the west side of the state and are able to visit more frequently. It's just been in the recent year or so that we've gotten re-acquainted with Ron and Janet. We got together with all except Ron for lunch at a local pizza parlor and had a very enjoyable visit. Seated on the left side of the picture is my aunt Lil in front with Cynthia behind and Janet in back. Danny is in front on the right side with me behind. Bev was there but she was the one taking the picture. We were very happy to have this opportunity to get together. My Aunt may soon be moving to the other side of the state to be closer to her family.
