A DAY SPENT WITH MY SIS, BRENDA BELLA

It was cold and foggy on this day 25th day of November, 2011.  They call it Black Friday.  A day after Thanksgiving.  A day full of people of all shapes and colors looking for the best bargains in stores.  Some camp out in front of the stores so that they can be first in to get what they want during this Christmas season.

I choose to not participate in all that due to it makes me feel sad just knowing how much Jeannette looked forward to Black Friday every year.  She was the type of person that would wake up at 2:00 a.m just to be at Macy's when they opened the doors. 

My sister Brenda was waiting for me today.  We, along with my cousin Rene went to Bakersfield, California to visit my brother and his family in respect of my nephew that died last Sunday.  As soon as I picked up Brenda we began to catch up on what is happening in our lives.  I noticed a bowl of food with some aluminum foil wrapped on top to cover it.  She said it was turkey, salad and stuffing and that we could eat it on the way to pick up cousin Rene in Tulare, Ca.  As I was driving I was digging into the food.  It was so tasty.  I loved it.  We talked and laughed about things in general. Before I knew it, we were already in Tulare.

Picked up Rene and headed to my brother Ben's house.  We were all there for him and all of us hugged him and all the rest of the family.  My brother Ben is having a very difficult time.  His son, Ben Jr.  was very close to him.  We left at around 5:00 P.M. and I made it here to my house by 7:00 p.m. 

I thank God for blessing me with my sweet sister Brenda.  It was a good trip.
It was a blessed day for me.

 Black Friday is not all that bad afterall.
