Weekend at Auntie Winda's Home

We found out that my Auntie Ebeck (Dad's third oldest sibling), died today in the Philippines. After talking with my cousin Manang Winda (the oldest daughter of Auntie Ebeck), we decided to drive up to her place to be with her for the weekend. Darrell came up for the evening, and another one of my cousins, Erli, with husband Orville, and daughter, Kaylee, also went.

We adults stayed up late into the wee hours of the morning sitting around the dining room table, eating and talking. It was bittersweet - bitter that we were experiencing another death in the family so soon, and sweet that we cousins were once again together spending time together.

Here is a picture of the boys playing with one of Manang Winda's dogs, named Charming.
