N Day

Today was N day. During my usual exercise walks in Englewood, I stop by the local Shop Rite most days to buy some lunch or whatever I need for the house. Today I ran across two of my nieces wheeling their babies and assorted comestibles in shopping carts down Shop Rite's aisles.

There are some people who have very little family and some, even with big families, whose close relatives live far away; in another state or even in another country. They don't have opportunities to see their kin by chance. It all has to be pre-arranged.

I count it as one of my blessings that wherever I go, I constantly meet up with either a sibling or a child or a grandchild or nephew or niece. It's a great feeling.

Hey, why don't you tell them that the next time you see them? They would probably feel just as good

I love to see you too :) I like to see what my aunts and uncles eat when their kids are out of the house? Did you buy sushi when your kids lived in the house?

That is definately something that I really feel is missing for me here in the midwest. Meeting a family member unexpectedly just running errands around town would really be a nice feeling.

sorry Soupy, what does the "N" stand for in "N" day?
