From Boy To Man

This evening I will be attending my cousin's Bar Mitzvah. He is my third cousin and I think I might have met him once. I feel like I know him from the yearly holiday picture that his parents send. I think of his mother as my little cousin and cannot believe that she has a thirteen year old son. I guess she will feel the same when she sees pictures of my granddaughter. I am looking so forward to this party even though it is a two hour ride to get there. There will be lots of food, loud music and I am hoping for a candy bar. There will also be lots of catching up.
