My Seattle 'Peeps'

As part of Tim's birthday celebration, we visited Seattle. When I suggested we contact his cousins to see if we could, maybe, drop in for a visit, he agreed. Well, when they found out we were coming, they graciously invited us to stay at their home. That was the beginning of a beautiful relationship. . .

Mary and Henry were so nice to us, I should have been angry at Tim for not suggesting we visit them, sooner! We had a FAN-TAB-U-LOUS time with them! By the time we left their house for dinner on the first evening, they were no longer my husbands people, they were my people too!

In every conceivable manner, the family is the link to our past, the bridge to our future -- Alex Haley

Mr. Haley was so right about this and our time with Henry and Mary certainly bears this out. Meeting and getting to know our cousins has made me more complete. Funny thing is, I didn't know I was incomplete. For me, this only hardens my conviction that God is an awesome God! He used this family connection to fill me up in places that I didn't even know were empty.
