I’m visiting my Bham family again and sitting here wondering if I could handle what my aunt does every summer. I have a cousin who lives overseas.  She comes home every summer, bringing her husband for a month, and staying with her two children for an additional month when he returns home.  My Aunt opens her home.  Now this may not seem like a big deal, but in the summer we’re all here a good bit of the time.  There have been times where it has been my aunt, uncle, their four children and their spouses, me and my husband, and all of our children…10 total…and there’s another on the way.  First, how do you feed that many people, of which many will be staying the night?!?  It gets crazy.  In spite of this, my aunt takes it in stride.  I think she even thrives on her matriarchal position.  Currently it is not that crazy around here.  It is only my cousin, me, and our children staying the night.  I love being here, but I miss Djembe terribly much.  I guess I just want to share the insanity with him! LOL. Today was spent in the pool.  Despite the fact that I am well tanned, I think sunblock should have been in order.  I chose a different swimsuit than the one I wore the majority of the time at the beach.  My pervious tan lines are a nice shade of light pink!  Whoops.  Fortunately it will fade to tan by tomorrow and there is no pain.  Lesson learned.  OK, probably not…but it was nice to lounge by the pool all day.  Same for tomorrow’s agenda.  Hey, summer is finally here for me and I am going to enjoy every last remaining day!  EVEN the one’s where I have to tutor!

 Happy sunshine…if it is not in your part of the planet then make your own!  Here, I’ll share…
