We were so glad we got to go back and spend a little bit of time with my aunt, uncle, and cousins on Thursday,
especially because my uncle had triple bypass surgery only a couple of weeks ago.
While my aunt and I perused books and chatted the hours away, everybody else played hard: on the piano,
on the zipline
on the rope swing, on the basketball court, on the badminton court,
in the imaginary world of cooking outside,
and in learning a game from Marulaon village. Our family was sore the next day.
The Schalchlin side of my family is special, and I found a couple of quotes that sum us up quite nicely:
Families are like fudge - mostly sweet with a few nuts. ~Unknown
 You don't choose your family. They are God's gift to you, as you are to them. ~Desmond Tutu |
