Kids Do Grow Up

Cousin Krystina was married this past weekend to Alvin. The wedding ceremony was private [she feared a Mexican mob might scare the new in-laws] but the reception was open to kin folk. Those of us who attended ate the goodies and danced with little ones. Krystina looked great, sounded confident in her new path with Alvin. Diann [Mother] will hopefully post a few pictures of the ceremony here.

Across town, the day before, cousin Quia graduated from massage school. Likewise this was a private affair. It was nice to see new healers enter the world - God knows we need it. Quia also follows her own tribal path, since many of her elders were healers. There was this fussy guy in front of us who didn't like the noise Memphis was making... he needed a massage.

What's cool is I remember attending both Krystina and Quia's high school graduation a few years back. It was one of those years in our family where there was 7 graduates in the same year. We are a large tribe.

Congratulations Quia and Krystina!
