My cousin invited me to visit her in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma this weekend. It was raining when I left my home, located just North of Jefferson City. I was wearing capri pants & flip flops in anticipation of warmer weather. It was 44 degrees with a bite in the wind. By the time i stopped, in Joplin, for gas & to stretch my legs it was 70 degrees & sunny. Amazing how a 3 hour drive can change in temperatures.
I made it to Broken Arrow by a little after 2. My cousin & i caught up from the last time i saw her.
She was my first contact, on my biological fathers side. She accepted me immediately! I wish that were the case with all my biological family but it is not the case.
My cousin's daughter came over with her 11 year daughter. I enjoyed meeting them.
Saturday, i drove to Bixby, Oklahoma to meet my biological twin Aunts. I met my cousin on my paternal side & we met, in the cemetery, where my grandparents were buried. It was a beautiful sunny day to catch up. Until the smoke blew in from the fires.
On my way home today, I stopped in Joplin, my hometown, to see my best friend & her family. Very nice weekend.
