This should have been yesterday's notation, but here goes.
Last night we went to my father's to visit with my cousin and his wife who were in from California.
They live in Chico, near the Park Fire. They came in last weekend but went to Myrtle Beach with my father and stepmother, so I did not get to see them until last night.
We had a good time sharing memories of differing childhoods, one on the west coast, and my brother and I on the east coast.
Kids are kids though. I also heard stories about my cousins that I hadn't heard before. I have always been a little sad that I don't know my father's side of the family that well. They moved to California when I was 6 months old. My dad and mother stayed here.
At any rate, we all had tacos, made by my cousin who wanted to cook, and enjoyed an evening on the deck telling tales.

Happy August Happiness Challenge!
Each day in August you are to post about something that makes *you* happy. Pretty simple. And, it doesn't even have to be every day if you don't want it to be. It's a great way to remind ourselves that there are positive things going on in our lives, our communities, and the world.
I'm glad you had a good time, and that you have a cousin who volunteered to cook so you could just relax.
