Siblings' Saturday

Ricky, Lynda, Sandie, Kevin

On Saturday, January 5, I drove to the Augusta, GA area to be with my siblings.  Our younger brother was there from NY State to visit our other brother and sister.
  
Here we are in 1955.
Lynda, born 1951;   Ricky, born 1954;   Kevin, born 1955;    Sandie, born 1952

Rick and I have our mom's features.  Sandie and Kev favor our dad.

Fortunately we thought to take a few pictures before the sun had set completely.   Lots of cars because lots of people were there.  I got to see two new babies born this past year as well as my nieces and nephew.  We had some super delicious barbeque for lunch.  My sister was a wonderful hostess and gave up her comfortable beds for some of us.  That was great for us but made me tired for her!
 We had a wonderful time together.  We are truly blessed that we all have a good relationship.  As most families, we have weathered many storms - - both together and separately.  It's nice to be able to come out safely on the same shore.
(And I hope to catch up on blogging.  Life has been BUSY!)
For whosoever shall do the will of my Father which is in heaven, the same is my brother, and sister, and mother.  Matthew 12:50
