My Philadelphia family lives just 2 1/2 hours from my family in Selbyville Delaware. We drove down on Sunday to spend some time with all time favorite cousins.
Cousin Sam has been a part of my life since I was born.
Meredith and Cousin Doris Ann were so glad to see each other.
Sam and David took an immediate liking to each other
and spent a lot of time sharing stories and interesting conversation.
Sam brought out the family notebook and researcher Meredith
begin to study the genealogy of the Pierces and the Trents.
She had such a good time.
We went to the beach and wandered in the warm wind.
David is a descendant of White Hat John Willis, captain of the original
Cuttysark. He gazed at the ocean through the eyes of his ancestor.
For me, the beach is home, the womb, a place of peace and renewal.
Together we shared a lovely afternoon.
Cousin Claudia, Sam and Doris Ann's daughter, came to dinner
at the Cottage Cafe' in Bethany Beach.
Thanks to neighbor Kathleen who came over and took a picture of all of us,
still smiling, still in love with our time together. We are so blessed.
