Notes from the Cottage

I went up to the cottage this weekend and made it back alive. Here's all the family news:

1. My sister Alabama (also known as Florida, depending on where she's living at any given time), is about to become a great-grandmother at the ripe old age of fifty-something. Her oldest son's stepdaughter recently (a) turned eighteen; (b) dropped out of high school; and (c) got knocked up by her redneck idiot boyfriend whom no one in the family can stand. Good times!

2. My sister TIB's daughter A. and A.'s husband J. spent the weekend at the lake. Unfortunately, A. and J. are not currently on speaking terms. Hopefully they'll start talking before their baby is born in October. Woo-hoo!

3. My sister Ditzy recently became engaged. However, the bloom is apparently already off the rose. Her fiancee has an autistic son, which is waaayy more than Ditzy wants to deal with. So now her plan is that they'll still get married, but live in different houses. Ditzy thinks this makes perfect sense. Ooohhhkay.

My family. Is insane.

Everyone's family is insane. Mine and yours especially. My latest phone call home revealed that my aunt has raised anchor again to go sailing the seas of serious crazy. She was rounded up a couple of nights ago about five miles from her home praying the rosary at the gas station in her bare feet. But at least she took her handbag, by gum.

Oh yeah. Never forget the handbag.

I agree with Bridgett - everyone's family is insane!
