The Chore... Not Family, Rather Discipline

I never thought writing a blog would be such a chore, but like anything else, you get out of the habit and it takes discipline to get back into it.  Don't honestly know why, but for the possible fact that I don't know what to say anymore and yet we have lots to say on behalf of the Benwares... ironic, an emphatic, "YES!"

The latest on our adventures was our trek out west to visit the Benware crew and a drop by Oklahoma for a day.  One of the things we miss most about Oklahoma are all the wonderful friends and the history we had together.  Oh we have met many wonderful people in the Blue Ridge Moutains but good ole friends, one just can't get enough!  As always, it's hard not being able to see everyone as this is a prominent time for summer vacations... go figure.  Everyone's schedules are hit and miss, like the ever constant game of cell phone tag in today's society.

And for Texas, boy had it been a while!  It can best be summed up best by one of Brenton's blood-related nephews that looked at his mama the first night we arrived and said, "Mom, who's that boy with Aunt Kelly?"  However, I must say that I felt special I was remembered!  It is truly amazing how much we miss out on watching all 10 Benware nephews and neices grow up while we are out of state.  We can't believe that they have changed so much and then they have to get use to us all over again.  Guess it is just that constant story of... LIFE.  Yet it is always a joy to go see family and catch up on lost time.  Just leaves us something to look forward to the next time we all get together!

I guess I'll save the rest for next time... otherwise I really won't have anything to write about!  You'll just have to wait and see!!
