My cousin being able to come visit me for a week again. Although I have been going to visit her, she had a habit of spending a week here two or three times a year. When her cancer came back all over her body one of her goals was to be able to resume her trips here. She did it.

We took my cousin home on Saturday and spent a few days with my mother. We had a good visit and saw lots of family while we were there.

One of my cousins has lost over 40 pounds over summer. I am so excited and happy for her! She was really struggling with health issues and feels better already.

She had me come to her house, and she brought out a bunch of pretty outfits. Every time I see her I love what she is wearing so I was very excited. She loves to shop and has great taste. She shopped end of end-of-season sales and had bought a lot of things for winter last spring, but has lost almost 40 pounds since then, and nothing fits, so she had all these nice, new winter clothes that no longer fit. She was going to take them to a consignment store, but had me go through them before she took them and told me I could have them for the price marked on them for consignment. I found several winter blouses, three pairs of pants, a couple of sweaters, a leather blazer, and a puffer jacket. I gave her more than what she wanted because they were all brand new. I still got a great bargain and I have some really nice clothes for winter and since I hate shopping, it makes me happy.

Our trip home was safe and uneventful. Thank you, Jesus!

I will be so glad to sleep in my own bed tonight.
