laughter

We managed to see all of my siblings this summer, although not at the same time. I was happy nonetheless, and so were our parents. My brothers came in from Chicago, at separate times. Uncle Tim and Aunt Eileen brought our nephew Robert to spend a week with Grandma and Grandpa. Then Robert's parents came to pick him up. We had a lot of laughs, and, as my grandfather called them, some pretty "good eats."

My grandfather saw humor in most everything. "It doesn't cost anything to laugh," he used to say.
