Sea to shining sea

 

I was looking at photos today and I realized if my extended family all lived together in a village we could be pretty self sufficient.

We have security people, nurses of all sorts, gardeners, teachers, mechanics, computer people, attorneys, carpenters, artists, musicians, engineers, electricians, brick layers and professors, just about everybody I can think of that we might need.

However we are stretched coast to coast, sea to shining sea, north, south, east and west across this continent.

We keep in touch through phone calls, texts, sporadic visits and the occasional card, which is at least better than in covered wagon days when good bye might mean forever.

We are a truly continental family.
