Family Gatherings

We have had the most tiring and eventful two weeks of our lives. Being married with kids is one thing. Being married with kids and a large extended family that comes down from all over the world for family funtions and stay for a minimum of two weeks...phew!!...is entirely another thing.

The saying that the world is too small is absolutely right. Just because a large number of family members live overseas does not make things any easier for those who live at home. When uncles, aunties, cousins and spouses, neices and nephews come back for family functions, its like a wirlwind of get togethers....lunches and dinners and anything inbetween and after dark trying to catch up on everything and everyone. There's all sorts of reasons to celebrate, making up for missed births and birthdays, graduations and retirements, marriages and (sometimes unfortunately) divorces and deaths.

Now that the last group has left, and all things are slowing coming back to normal, we can expect a different kind of excitement. Those left behind will slowly "share" the little bits of information told to one person and not to the other, until sooner than later, the gossip mill would be running overtime. Well, that should keep us entertained until the next big family get together!

You are welcome happy telcos!
