home again

i'm totally unprepared for easter this year...but i'm home safe and sound. 

 
  my visit with family was good and long overdue.  and i must say that cape may is just beautiful.  the adventures getting there are a tale to be told (oversleeping, not having the right flight time, and forgetting camera but remembering film) 
 
it was wonderful seeing my grandmother and looking into my uncle's eyes...i had forgotten how much he and my mom looked alike. 
 
  i hope you all have the best easter ever.  i'm going to hug all of my family very tight.

    I'm so glad it was such a wonderful visit Char. I've heard that Cape May is beautiful...that area is on my travel wish list (and sooner rather than later!).

    Glad you had a wonderful time! Cape May is only about an hour and a half away from my hometown. It's such a beautiful place.

    Have a joyful Easter!

    Happy Easter Char.

    Time with family is priceless. Your description of looking into their eyes and seeing resemblances is so captivating...reminded me of my uncle's eyes.

    thanks.

    Char - this is such a nice post about your family. Makes me think of how much my uncle and grandfather looked alike, and how when I see my uncle, I am looking into my late grandfather's eyes. Happy Easter!

    Char, are you a transplanted "Joisy girl"? I grew up going to the shore - Stone Harbor and always heading to CM for the shops.
    Happy Easter to you!
