While I was working almost day and night (it seemed like) in Venice Florida selling Real Estate, I received an invitation to attend my sister Geneva and her husband Bill DeWitt’s 50th wedding anniversary party in Ohio.

After thinking it over I decided I could spare a weekend and go so I purchased a flight up on Friday, go to the party on Saturday and fly home on Sunday. And that is what I did.

Family who were there for the party

It was several years after that Geneva called me and ask if she and Bill could come down and stay in my home for a vacation.

I said “I would be delighted and you can stay for TWO week instead of one if you would like.”

My answer to that “Two weeks would not be worth the price of a plane ticket”.

“Well….how long do you want to stay?”

She came back with “The month of February “.

“OK fine, I’ll pick you up at the airport..”

AND SO IT WAS WORTH THE PRICE OF A PLANE TICKET!
