We had all of my immediate family at the lake for the Fourth
of July and also had some extended family with us. Caroline’s mom has
passed away, but one of Caroline’s favorite aunts, Aunt Delma, and her husband,
Dickie, were with us. Aunt Delma has been just like a mom to
Caroline and has always taken an interest in all of us. Dickie has always
been one of my favorites as well as a favorite great uncle to my kids. I
can still see them piling into his pick-up truck to head off to McDonald’s
for breakfast or an ice cream. We also got to spend time with one of
their grown kids, Steven who is married to Tanya, and their children, Rachel
and Josh. It was so much fun to see the kids behind the boat doing
some x-treme tubing, and a thrill to see Josh get up on water skis for the
first time. Most people associate the Fourth of July with
fireworks, and we did have our share of those, but the Fourth means Family to
me.
