Keeping an eye on the time

My nephew Steve has a penchant for watches.  Yesterday when I was at the family dinner at Ann’s house Steve asked me if I’d like to see his new Seiko Kinetic watch that he had just received as a high school graduation gift last spring.  He seems to have a different watch for every occasion, and every outfit.  I asked him why he has so many watches and he told me that he had inherited several of them from his father’s side of the family, but that likes to collect them.  So I guess I know what kinds of gifts I can get him in the future!  I just have to try to make sure it is one he doesn’t already have.  I’ll just ask him to pick out something from the collection at bluedial.com in my price range when his next birthday is coming up.

Fireworks in August

I went to a big family dinner last night at my sister Ann’s  house.  She had invited the family there to visit with her step-daughter that was visiting from out of state.  Much to my surprise my mother and a different sister decided that this particular family dinner was a good time to have a very public argument!  My poor sister Ann was mortified!  This was NOT exactly what she had in mind when she invited the family over to visit with her step-daughter!  I felt so bad for everyone there.  I wonder what will come of it!
