Some of you know that there is a Housley among us. Corrie, daughter of Frank (Buster) and Carol, is attending college in Boulder. Being a hop, skip and a jump away, Corrie decided to come visit me for a day.
Corrie was shocked to learn that she had relatives in Alabama. So we had a lesson on genealogy. Corrie discovered that her dad's dad was my grandmother's brother, making my grandmother her dad's aunt, my mom and her dad cousins, her dad and me 2nd cousins and finally she and I 3rd cousins.
Corrie and I enjoyed lunch with my in-laws, Bob and Becky. After that, we took Kasey for a walk up near the Air Force Academy. Kasey decided she wasn't feeling well after the walk, so Corrie and I got to clean out a nasty gift from Kasey when we got back to the house. Then Corrie got to vacuum out her car.
It is funny how life goes in circles. Though she was too young to remember, but when I lived in Seattle, I would go to her house where her dad would help me change the oil in my jeep. We would wash it, vacuum it, take it for a spin. Having her visit brought back many memories of the years gone by.
When Rob arrived home from Reserves, we all sat down to a great home-cooked meal.
