In This Far Away Land
Yep, we have some relatives that actually made it to our “far way country” . . . not many do, you see, . . . so this is something extra special to rejoice in!!
For some pics, you’ll have to view Aunt Doris Jean’s blog. ( I’ll probably post some later, but not as many I assure you. She is a camerawoman for sure!!! )
I vote Aunt Doris Jean one of the BEST teacher\entertainer for children . . . she had the oldest five, while I took Lynne and went to get groceries, my drivers license renewed, visit my doctor, etc. . . . This time I didn’t have a deadline to be home (It’s nice not to have to worry about the clock sooooo much, but I did make it back by 1:15 . . . She still played games with the children while I unloaded things, fixed myself some lunch and put little ones to bed for naps) Oh, what a gift!!! They all love her to pieces!

I went to her site. Loved the pictures! Wow, what a breath of fresh air! To have someone excited about babysitting and you not to have to hurry to get back, sounds relaxing!
Last time my mom took care of the girls, she thanked me a few times for the chance to babysit them (it was for a few days and we live over 3 hrs away from them). I told her it’s always nice when the babysitter thanks ME!

I’m so glad for you that your visitors are there and can give you a lift. But I’m glad for me too, because I am so enjoying all the pictures, especially of your precious children.
I know you don’t get lots of relatives’ visits. That’s how our Miki in Sweden feels too. We did make the trip to see your in laws a few times, back when we didn’t have any grown-up children of our own to go visit. Now it seems visiting them takes all of our traveling time.
