Here's Peggy at the celebratory dinner for Moe and Dad's anniversary. As I said, we had a wonderful time together. It made me miss my childhood - we used to see our siblings all the time and get to play games, run around the yard, and talk about all the big and small things that make life interesting. Remember things like: "let's go lie down and laugh!" or playing Stratego or Trouble (before Moe threw it out the back door in a huff)? Remember the sound of baseball games on the TV during the summertime in Connecticut? I love that sound to this day and associate it with beautiful weather and the security of living with loved ones. [note: I will not rehash all the ways my siblings stole my food and exploited my labor...]
Ha!
Regarding Peggy, though, we had a bunch of laughs over "Figurines" and other songs she would belt out at the top of her lungs. She was a singer, that one.
It's not always convenient to see our family members, but it is always worth it. I'm glad we made the trip this year and I will remember it fondly.
