Facebook Connections

I recently got in touch with some (kind of) lost cousins through facebook. I say kind of because I basically knew where they were and they probably knew where I was but we have not been in touch with each other for MANY years. It has been really fun getting back in touch with them and their families! They are actually my grandfather's (Paul Newman) sister's (Aunt Edith) children - but they are closer to my age than to my father's age. They grew up in Truth or Consequences and we used to make day trips at least once a year to go visit them. I absolutely used to love going there! My Uncle Pat (Aunt Edith's husband) always had the most awesome gardens - both flowers and fruits and vegetables. He also always seemed to have a jigsaw puzzle in-progress and did not seem to mind us helping him with it. I always thought my cousins were so smart and cool and handsome and talented. We would always take a side-trip to the lake and marina with them which was so much fun for a kid like me! Anyway, it has been a lot of fun trying to catch up with them and what they are doing now and all their kids (which I still do not have straight!) . My cousin Kerry sent me some really neat old pictures which I will try to post in awhile.
