THE VISIT PARK IV SATURDAY

I got up extra early this morning to make Pioneer Women's Muffins that Taste Like Donuts. They were a hit.

My cousin wanted to go to Wal*Mart this morning. I know! She wanted to see if they had any Yankee Baseball items. They live in Florida and are Yankee fans and they can't find anything there with the Yankee insignia. We went to Wal*Mart but found nothing. So I came home and picked up the remainder of the muffins and headed to my other cousin's where my cousin's husband was staying. They enjoyed the muffins too. We spent the rest of the afternoon there. She cooked a big lunch but I didn't stick around.

I was feeling kind of blue today. Missing my brother terribly. He would have been around for a lot of festivities involving my cousin's stay with us from Florida. He would have been the life of the party. He would have insisted that we have everyone to my house for a BBQ on Saturday and he would have orchestrated the whole event, but that didn't happen. They stayed where they were. He would have ordered the Famous Lunch mini hot dogs, probably about 100 of them to bring to my house for the BBQ on Saturday. That didn't happen. I went home and cried all afternoon. My husband tried to cheer me up, but that didn't happen. I waited until about 6 pm and went back to my cousin's and stayed for a while and then brought my cousin home with me for the last night with me. Tomorrow night she will stay with her sister in law, where her husband is and Monday morning they are leaving.
