Being with those we love.

After a drive to Milt and Mary's home that was filled with warm memories and nostalgia (poem tomorrow), it has felt good to be spending time with family.  Gwen and Mary ware always close, and Milt and I get along well, so it is easy and settling to be able to spend time with them.  We had a nice meal at a restaurant in Frankfort, and then Milt and I played nine holes of golf at Arcadia Bluffs, where he works as a starter.  I had forgotten what a spectacular course it is, and also forgot my camera (Mary reminded me that I could have used my phone to take pictures.  Duh. . .).  We were there at sunset, and I missed the opportunity to take some great photos.  I hope to go back tomorrow and get a few.

As pleasant and easy as it is to spend time with my sister and brother-in-law, it is also another of those painful firsts.  It's been a long time since Gwen and I last visited here, but the memories remain vivid.

I so enjoyed the time I spent with Milt on the golf course tonight, Dear.  At one point, we looked out over the setting sun on Lake Michigan,  and Milt asked what could be better than this.  I replied that it was as good as it gets, but in my heart I knew that being able to enjoy it with you as we did the last time we were here made it so much better.
