Initial Post

Welcome to Camp Meads! It may sometimes feel like a wilderness adventure, but as long as we are hiking together as a family, life is good and we can enjoy / treasure the journey! Being as this is our first post, I will make this short and sweet. I just got back from California with Mom. We went to celebrate Grandma Graham's 90th birthday, and visited with Uncle Mike and Aunt Delpha, Uncle Don, Julie, Megan, Madeline, Kimmy, Thomas, and Kayden - though not in that order. It was a timely trip for me and most enjoyable. I really liked seeing Mom, Aunt Delpha, and Uncle Don being siblings together. I liked hearing them talk of their childhood and; even though I knew them to be frustrated with the situation, I liked seeing them work together for the benefit of their "Mama". I like that they still call her that. Highlights of the trip: I attended my first Catholic Christian "Sacrament" Sunday Services, I had fun visiting with Uncle Don and TRYING convince him I was not a pre-teen the last we met (Saturday morning Uncle Don claimed he hadn't seen me in 20 years, and by Sunday night he was sure it was more like 30 years. That would make me 10 years old the last time he saw me! I saw him the Summer before I married Shane. I was 23.) , and the most fun . . . I played my first game of canasta! All in all it left me with the desire to remain in touch with family. Thus this attempt at following the shining examples of Summer and Andrew and creating a Meads family blog site. Thanks for blazing the trail Andrew and Summer! I hope I will blog often enough for the purpose. Well, I said I'd keep this short, and I keep my promise. Tah tah for now!
