\"Me,<\/a>

Me, Keith and Wayne<\/p><\/div>\n

Once again I am playing catchup on my blog postings. This one should have been posted before I left Fort Myers because it was that last weekend before leaving that I traveled up to the Tampa Bay area – specifically, to Valrico, FL – to see my cousin Wayne and his wife, Patty. As an added attraction, another cousin, Keith, would be stopping by on his way back from a golf trip to Texas. This would be a mini-reunion with my closest cousins. I have other cousins, some older, some younger, but Wayne and Keith are the two who are closest to me in age. Wayne is the oldest, but is just four months older than me. Keith is the youngest, but is just four months younger than me. When my parents traveled to Ripon, WI, to see my father’s family, I almost always got to spend time with Wayne and Keith. Some of my most vivid childhood memories involve Wayne and Keith and the time I spent visiting their dairy farms:<\/p>\n
