I don’t care how poor a man is; if he has family, he’s rich.  ~Dan Wilcox and Thad Mumford, “Identity Crisis,” M*A*S*H 

I had family here this past week and it seems almost every other month. I am still waiting for my sister and her kids (all 4) to make it down here but something wonderful happens when family is around. First, we talk and talk and talk. It’s amazing how much you don’t know about each other’s quirks and likes/dislikes until you are in close proximity for an extended period of time.What’s my best part? Sharing dreams and ideas!  Although I come from a small family of two (me and my sis), my husband comes from a large family and I always wanted a large family so I get to experience  what that’s like with his family. I also have to count my very close friends Marcy, Betsy and Edna as family. I love those girls who are so vastly different yet they contribute something to my life in ways that not many have. I thank God for my family and because of this I know I’m indeed a rich gal!

Paz.
