Our entire family meets once a year during Xmas holidays and that’s about it. I personally think that it is a blessing for all of us that everyone is healthy and happy doing whatever they are doing.

Should I meet them more and why? Everyone seems a bit sad about the fact that we do not meet more often. What would we do if we meet more? We would talk more and I would probably get into some arguments I want to avoid in the first place. My standards and values are so different from people I know.

Last time I met my sister, here is what I remember:

1. I drove for an hour to her place.

2. We visited the nice new house.

3. Her husband was out doing some shopping and was stuck in the lane.

4. We ate quickly after he got back.

5. We made some useless comments about the decoration which was already very nice.

6. My mother kept asking about the price of each thing. Dunno why but she does it all the time.

7. My sister got a bit annoyed and made some sharp comments that annoyed my brother

8. I, mentally, made notes to avoid the subject of prices next time :).

9. We left not really happier.

10. I forgot about her 2 cats (Gandalf and Ghost) and the dog. They are lovely to look at but they are so well educated that none of them is jumping at people. It is hard to get attached to any of them since they avoid people.

So do I want to drive all the way for another hour to revive this excellent “ordinary” moment?
