Like you, I also have second, third and fourth cousins and some whom I have never met still living in Albania. Get-togethers always include an insane amount of native dishes and conversation that is loud and boisterous, almost deafening but loads and loads of fun. There is always a lot of laughing until tears...an emotion I love but seem to be missing these days. I have also missed out on many of these family celebrations so I know exactly how you are feeling. As usual I understand dear sister.L.

I ...UGH - I'm so sorry your trip was cancelled! I hope something wonderful comes up in L.A. for you over the weekend. Is there an Italian group that would love to share this tradition with you (like the Sons of Norway groups do with Norwegian traditions)? It would be an awesome thing to share in a homeschooling group...but wait...boiling oil and kids? Maybe not.Gbergerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08895779471612397202noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4863417462909147257.post-11993318994637186532013-12-07T05:41:36.661-08:002013-12-07T05:41:36.661-08:00I think you made the right decision.

Did you, however, consider smuggling yourself off to some other, closer destination for a short weekend of solitude and New Yorker reading? <br />Enjoy your winter-like weather. We're back up on the high seventies and muggy as hell.

The food, the camaraderie...sounds like it would have been a wonderful weekend. As with you, many of my loved ones are on the opposite coast (they are far closer to you than me) and at this time of year in particular I miss so much being with them. :(Mama Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02486091328948046021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4863417462909147257.post-84195706153634981622013-12-07T03:28:00.755-08:002013-12-07T03:28:00.755-08:00I'm sorry you missed the fun with family.
