That's interesting that the holiday lasts so long. I guess it's probably because people come in early and leave late on their vacations. That should be nice to have your cousin so close!
I'm glad to hear that you're still around. Don't worry about not posting every day. I think I've only posted once in 2019. It just dropped off. Life happens. Enjoy your time with Brian. :)
I can't explain the length of the celebrations here; it really is crazy though.
Thank you for the "don't worry about posting"; I guess the honeymoon period is over. I notice many of us that grew up at the same time here have been posting less and less ... me, you, glen, gillian, davemc ... it just happens is right :)
