My cousin, Sherry, decided to drop by with her grandbaby last night. We don’t see each other often and we really don’t have a whole lot in common. I was throwing out excuses that didn’t stick — and I’m glad they didn’t. It was good to see her!
Back in the day…
When I was young, I would sometimes stay all night at her house. As we got older, we went out together a few times… the most memorable was Phoenix Hill Tavern in Louisville. She’s changed so much since then — but haven’t we all? She still reminds me of her Mom, Irene, though. Sort of loud and very assertive.
Mom and Aunt Irene were great friends until she passed, but Sherry and I weren’t close in that way. Still, you know you can always count on family when you need them.
As we grow older, it’s good we touch base more often. Uncle Max is in a nursing home now and under hospice care. He’s confused often and is extremely grumpy. I can’t imagine how she feels when he talks mean to her — but I’m glad I could listen as she let off some steam.
I wanted to keep the baby (although I was ready for Sherry to go home)! 😉
Such a good natured little girl! She looks like her Momma (Kourtney) did when she was that age. Sherry promised they’d be over to swim soon (she better hurry as summer is almost a memory) and said she hopes my Momma will come so they can chat. Merida wants them to come back too because she wants another chance to try and steal that pacifier. 😂
Katie, the old standby was here after that.
No photos of her because she’s here LOTS. And her… I don’t have to entertain.
Now you know: Multimillionaire Maria Assunta, upon her death left her entire fortune of $13 million, all of her properties such as villas, homes, and land to her cat Tommaso, making the cat one of the world’s richest felines. Just a few years prior, Tommaso was a stray cat she found in the streets of Rome.
