Don Ford, technically speaking he's my first-cousin-once-removed - which means that he's my mom's cousin ... but he's only a few years older than me so it's like we're just plain cousins ... which really just means family!!

one of my favorite people came into town and called me up! he came over for a visit and i am so glad he did! it's always fun to catch up with friends and family! and what's better - i called him today and we talked for about an hour while he was driving thru oregon on his way home! while my mom's sisters were in town i spent a fair amount of time probing them for infomation and wish now that i had recorded them - for my own enjoyment as well as posterity sake!

goal #29 - do better at keeping in touch with extended family, with letters, facebook, blogs, and attending reunions!! families are forever and it's best if you know who it is you're going to be spending eternity with!!
