Aunt Invasion

I have Aunts in my house. I thought they weren't coming until tomorrow. What a wonderful surprise!! John's sisters are the best. We have so much fun together, playing cards, and just messing around. I really enjoy their company.
My big projects yesterday were to clean out the great room, go to Sam's and Wal Mart and pick up all the junk for Sat, go to the bank, y'know all the stuff to get ready for THE GIG. Well, I worked for a couple of hours, went to the stores and the bank, and got home at 3:30 or so. Eli and I were just unloading the car and here they come! There was still so much to do, but we had to sit and play a game of cards. In the Noser family, that is a necessity of life.
Hannah sat in for me while I whipped up some supper and then we all pitched in and cleaned the great room. They even washed the windows. Can ya stand it? Pretty cool chicks.
We had another game of cards and hit the hay. We were all pretty tired, judging by how many mistakes we made in the card game...
Here is a run-down so you'll know who's who:
Mary Ann is a little spitfire. At 5 feet nothing, she is shorter than Eli, but this girl packs a punch. I have never seen someone work so hard. She just never quits.
Margaret is the quieter one in the bunch. She has lived in Brazil for 30 years and has quite a time with culture shock when she comes here. She works with the farming community in her area, people that literally have nothing, and then she comes here. Walking into a grocery store is hard, and you will never see her waste a thing.
Joan is the youngest of the group, and makes her living as a bus driver. She loves children, so that is a good fit. Patient and loving and fun. Joanie is also the one to look at if you are in the middle of a practical joke....
These Nosers are some of the most wonderful people I have ever met, I am so glad to be in their family.

...and lump them together with the McKinney girls and you have what most would think is quite the circus! So, if you like chaos and laughter, it doesn't get much better than this! See you at the Gig!
