A Visit From Aunt Mel

My mom’s sister, Melody, came for a visit from Chicago on Thursday. We had such a great time with her. When she got here Thursday we just hung out and ate turkey burgers that Matt grilled for us. Friday morning we got up and went to the cemetery to put some new flowers on my mom’s grave. She loved the Sunflower so we put out some of those. They were very pretty. For lunch, we went to lunch at our favorite Mexican restaurant, La Nopalera. The rest of the afternoon was spent hitting thrift and consignment stores. We LOVE doing that! It’s the thrill of the hunt for us. Before we knew it our visit was over. We took her to the airport on Saturday morning. It was kind of funny because when I am leaving the house will all five kids it is always hectic but I am become accustomed to it. For an outsider it can be sort of stressful but she laughed it off saying it was like being in a sitcom! We loved having her and hope she comes back soon.
