Relatives

Thanksgiving was pretty good. I spent it at my Grandma Tucker's (Mamaw) house. It has been a tradition in my family to go to one grandmother's house on Thanksgiving and the other grandmother's house on Christmas. Every year we alternate I guess this year we aren't going to travel to Grandma Thompsons'. My dad's side of the family is very different from my mom's. The Tuckers' are a little more disfunctional. My papaw was a very hard working person. His view of a vacation was farming. He and my mamaw worked in a factory in Louisville and that is where my dad and his brother and sister lived. Every weekend sense they were really young, they would travel to the farm in Morgantown and work. They built a brand new house 24yrs. ago on the farm land. For the longest time that was grand central station. Everyone would come into the kitchen and mamaw would cook this HUGE feast. Now its not so much. Everyone has their own lives and most of the cousins are running around going here and there. Mom's side is more sparse. My Aunt Jan lives in Florida with her family and my cousins are a lot older than me and Uncle Mark and his daughter and her husband live in Arizona. Two of my aunts and my grandma Thompson live in Oklahoma. I haven't seen 1 of my cousins in 10 yrs. I hate not seeing them. Although that's the great thing about Facebook. We all have one and we are able to stay more in touch.
