Every year my girl cousins, who call themselves the "Cabras", and my Aunts, on the Amaro side of the family go away for a long weekend to spend some Q. & Q. time together.
One year when I was able to go with them we went to Upper Lake in California and stayed at the Tallman Hotel. While together one of the things we did was to go antiquing… Are you surprised? You know the brocante bug runs deep in m family's vein.
Have you ever gone antiquing with a bunch of enthusiastic women who love what you love?
Let me ask you have you ever seen a bunch of children at Easter, happily darting around trying to find the golden egg? If you have, then you can imagine my cousins, Aunts and I.
My cousins, Lynn, Judy, Joan, Robin, Diane and my Aunt Ann are experts in the ways of dashing around for antiquing, nevertheless we each discovered a golden egg to take home. I bought a small chair, that I had to cut in half to fit in order to bring back on the plane.
On that same trip together we celebrated my Aunt Sara's birthday. Aunt Sara is Francabolla's, Sheba's and Birdbrian's mother. Francabolla, Sheba and Birdbrain have real names, but these are the names they use to comment on my blog.
Francabolla arrived in France yesterday, along with a friend (Mardog) to visit my family.
Sheba is Sacha's Godmother,
Aunt Sara was my father's sister.
and Birdbrain, I never understood why she gave that name to herself, is my cousin Lynn.
Yesterday while I was returning home to France, my cousin Lynn suffered a pulmonary embolism and is in a coma.
Please join my family and I in prayer for Lynn's recovery.
