HAPPY NEW YEAR

We went down to Ocean City to spend some time with Hub's family.  His parents bought a new home with a lot of room so we went down for one night.  It was fun.  No matter what issues we have with family, it is nice to spend time together.  Isolation is bad and the only way to feel connected is to have quality time together.  I see hub's parents and I'm sad to see how they are getting older and that holding grudges and placing expectations is so not worth it.  It was nice just talking and sharing stories.  Hub's family is so witty and funny.

One story by my brother in law Chris:  Uncle Bernie...  hard to keep track of people when you have  such a huge family.  At thanksgiving dinner, Uncle Bernie (Hub's father's brother) sitting at the table.  He's talking to Hub's brother, Chris, and his son and Hub's mother (also, Chris's mother) and he's telling family stories and then Uncle Bernie goes, " Did you know my brother Dan adopted two boys from Korea?" And Chris shockingly says, " Oh, really my brother was adopted.  I had no idea"  He said it so funny.  I was dying of laughter.  so funny.

Another funny story, Chris's son when he was 4 years old asked his father if he was chinese when he was young too like Uncle "hubs".  He thought Hubs would turn white as he got older.  

It was a fun time.
