Last Sunday afternoon, I carpooled with family members to central Illinois to my nephew’s high school graduation party in a small town just outside Springfield. As we were approaching, Mom mentioned that my sister had told her earlier in the week that
Congratulations to your nephew! My oldest graduated (and my youngest sister’s oldest) too, and it’s a LOT!! I know a lot of childless aunties who are just as emotional when their oldest niece or nephew graduates, so ❤️❤️❤️ That 18 years does absolutely fly by!!
Thank you so much, Kristin! It is great to have you as a top fan! ;) Thanks for sharing that, and I appreciate that you SO get it! And cheers on the beer book, btw!
Very nice article, Alison. Congratulations to your nephew. And thanks for the reminder that I shouldn't be standing next to you when the cicadas show up in the QC. :)
We don’t have cicadas in my neighborhood at all, so I also thought people were blowing it out of proportion until I heard the deafening sound near my son’s school. While parked in the parking lot, one hit my car very near my open window, which I quickly closed. More and more people I know have had confrontations. I feel like it’s just a matter of time before one gets me — when are they going away?!
Congratulations to your nephew! Nothing wrong at all with being a proud aunt!! The more people a kid knows who love and care about them, the better!

Thanks so much, Ed! And no, you definitely should not. ;). Mosquitoes love me as well!

Right?! It really is quite astounding. And yep you’d better look out… your time to get dive bombed may be soon!
Good point about the kiddos…. Thanks for reading and commenting, Justin!
Lovely. Simply lovely. Hearing your voice adds another dimension.
Oh wow, thank you so much, Bob! Really appreciate that feedback (and support). I decided, after White Rock, to start giving the voiceover deals try!
Hey thanks, Doug!
