Actually Dotsie and Sherri, I long for the old days when we all gathered at my Grandmothers house for Easter Ham and of course the egg hunt, Christmas dinners, in those days we celebrated everyones birthday too at their house. You'd make a snack and of course cake and ice cream. But then Grandma died and we kids all grew up and went away to school and/or married and moved away. My mom and brother are in Indiana, some aunts, uncles and cousins too. My 2 sisters are in Colorado with their families. My son and I are here and my other son, God knows where he is. We never see any of the relatives. I have a big Thanksgiving dinner at my house and my son has Christmas at his house. Times have changed and I personally don't like the changes. I truly had a blessed childhood and never really appreciated it until it was gone.
