Irrespective of religion, race or ethnic considerations this
season is one that all can enjoy. It is one that is marked by family
get-togethers; often including the co-mingling of relatives that seldom see each
other.
I have a nephew who lives in
South Jersey but keeps in frequent contact with me. He and his wife do visit
once or twice a year
This week end my daughter and son in law from Virginia, my
son and daughter from NYC, my daughter from the DC area, and my granddaughter
her husband and two children are staying here.
Additionally there is a daughter
and spouse, one grandson and a great-grandson in Watchung who did not happen to
be here Friday.
My nephew and his wife with perhaps one of his daughter’s
and family of three 10 and under children were planning to visit about noon
time.
Imagine our pleasant surprise; not when the three children
tentatively came up the walk to entered the house. However, we were not
prepared for the next wave of three youngster also 12 to 3 accompanied by 5 adults, who suddenly appeared around
the corner.
With Sonia’s 5 year old grandson who also came with her to
visit Casey and Sydney; for several hours there were 9 children between 3 and
13 having a hell of a good time for well
over two hours; and no one ended up crying or hurt!
I almost forgot to mention that Dawg, although overwhelmed
by the numbers and activities participated in the play by barking am running with
them. Dawg really passed a critical test.
