Leaving on a Jet Plane

I am flying to see my aunt on Sunday. She is my mom's oldest sister. She had a stroke about a year and a half ago and has very little use of her left side. When she and my mama would get together, they would laugh all day long. They had so much fun together. When the phone rang at my mama's house, we always knew it was Aunt Jo, because immediately after answering the phone, mama was laughing her head off! Just the sound of my aunt's voice could make her laugh. Daddy always said he needed Jo to call when he had ticked mama off to get her back to her normal self!!
Because of her condition, my cousin has arranged for us to spend all day Sunday with her and then my cousin, her sister, and I are going to go to Sea World on Monday and head to Cocoa Beach to spend a few days. Nothing like 50 and 60 year old women getting together on a beach in Florida!! The last day, we will spend with my aunt before I head back to LaGrange.
I am so looking forward to it. I need a break from sewing for a while!! But when I get back, I'm diving right in and finishing the cuddly quilt I am making for my little man!!
Sidenote: Today is my baby boy's 29th birthday!!! His brother will be 32 in 8 days. I can't believe my children are this old!!! Where does the time go???
