Today we went all the way to Briar’s Lake to meet up with Chloe’s cousin from Ottawa. I am glad we went - because PB wasn’t too keen on going - because we had things at home to do - and housework to catch up on - plus he wanted to rest - i’m guessing - since Sunday is the only day - where we don’t have to work. But family is very important to me - I didn’t have cousins to grow up with - not because I didn’t have cousins - but our parents weren’t closed at all - due to hierarchy and who is rich and who isn’t. But over here - it didn’t matter if you were rich or poor - plus I also want Chloe to know her cousins - even though they are so far away - and don’t come often enough and we don’t go and visit either.

I haven’t seen Gabriel for a few years now and Xavier - well - i haven’t seen him at all. But both boys are so intelligent and so enjoyable to be with. I know Chloe had a good time and Renette - the boys’ grandmother is always so hospitable and warm. We had a great time - chatting and just catching up. So what did you do this weekend.
