A good night :)

Tonight was a good night :) lol! My room-mate was going into Borden tonight, and I have family there, so I said I would go along and see them. First stop was at my great-aunt Rita's, but she was sleeping, so I moved on up the road to visit my Uncle Billy. My uncle Everette was also there, so I had a nice visit with the both of them, and aunt Barb made me a nice home cooked meal before I left. After leaving Billy's house, I went back to visit Rita. She's such a sweet old lady. She was very happy to see me, and I her. She reminds me of my Granny, her sister, a lady who I treasured dearly in the 12 years she was in my life.
After I spent time with Aunt Rita, I went down the street to visit my cousins Jimmy and Cathy. Dear sweet people they are too. Turns out Wednesday night is their crib night, and a couple of their friends come over and play cribbage with them. I was included in the game, and had a wonderful time playing with Cathy, Kenny and Donny. (jimmy sat out to help me 'cause I'm still a beginner) Turns out Donny (Noonan) grew up next door to my father, and recognized me as his daughter (or rather, as a Keough, then as his daughter) After studying my face a bit, he also determined that I looked like my Aunts Helen and Ruthie. To be honest, I cant see Helen in myself, but Ruthie I can. After playing a few rounds of crib with the lot of em, I decided I had better go now, and bid them goodnight.
Walking around the town while waiting for my room-mate, I walked down to my Granny's old house, which is for sale and I wish to buy, and copied down the address, and the number to call to learn what the price is on it. On the sign was a sticker saying "new price" which made me somewhat happy. Happy because the price is lower obviously! But it made me worry, if the house doesn't sell soon, will they tear it down? Or just keep it for sale? Either way, I intend to call and express my interest in the house and hopefully before long, I will be the owner of a house full of memories :)
