My first cousin Tommy sends me one of these type cards every weekend.  He is the one that lives in Savannah TN and sent the pictures of the terrible tornado that ripped through the sate a couple of weeks ago.  Even though we don't hardly see each other anymore with this part of the family being in Texas, we do stay in touch especially via the Internet, and phone calls.  I have lots of great, fun, and happy memories of the times we would visit when I was growing up. 

I used to get in trouble because I wanted to hang out with my boy cousins, and not the girl ones.  I was always kinda of a tomboy, and jumping off bridges 20' high into the creek, going hunting, fishing, etc. was a lot more fun to me than playing dolls .  Tommy and my other favorite first cousin Buddy even took me "snipe hunting"...if your not from the south, basically they take you in the woods at night supposedly to hunt "snipe", which of course there is no such thing, and scare the heck out of you. Because this snipe was fond especially of little girls, and was really bad.  They stuck me under a tree in the dead of night, and ran off, till my crying brought them back to rescue me...my heroes!

Another fond memory was them deciding to teach me at age 12 to shoot a shotgun.  They were young too so instructions was kinda loose, and I ended up on my butt with a sore shoulder for about a week.  But of course I did'nt tell on them...my heroes!                                                                               

Then they decided to teach me to dive in the mountains of TN at also age 12!  So you can see why I wanted to hang out with these guys :)  since they were not so brilliant, but boy did we have fun during those summers in TN :)

Hope you like this Sundays card as much as I did...it's from my hero!
