Last week I made a trip NOTB which included a visit to my Atlanta family. Border crossing both ways was smooth sailing, unlike our Thanksgiving trip last year.
Pam, Jane, Joan, Patricia with myself (bottom left).
My mother’s brother Jack (97) and my Aunt Irene (93) preside at the center of a large family with so many grands and greats, they’ve lost count.
In celebration of their recent 75th wedding anniversary.
My uncle flew in World War II and if you get him talking about his flights over Japan, he is sharp as a tack. My aunt, not so much. Her dementia, and short-term memory loss however, makes life with my uncle quite bearable.
Lt. Col. John E. Marder decorated Air Force Pilot.
The lovely Irene.
The visit with my cousins was quite wonderful with promises to do it again soon. Busy lives and long distances get in the way. They are closet blog followers, so this shoutout goes to Joan, Jane, Patricia and Pam. Cousins are the best.

It’s my mother’s 88th birthday coming up next week so we’re having a bit of a family do in London. It’s interesting that you refer to World War 2 as the Great War. On this side of the pond, this is the name we use for World War 1.

They are a pair. Their children rotate days so each visits once a week.
