When I visited my cousin Matt on Monday he mentioned having plans to visit our cousin, Rebecca, on Friday. "Do you think Rebecca would mind if I joined?" I asked him Tuesday morning. I figured it'd be great to see Matt again— a few hours once a year is not enough— and I looked forward to seeing my Rebecca, whom I think I've only seen maybe twice since she was 6 years old... and she's now in her 40s!
Matt and Rebecca both agreed it would be great to see us. And their agreed-up meeting location for today was Frederick, MD, which is only about 1.5 hours from up here near Harrisburg. I figured it'd be an easy day-trip down there for a late lunch today.
Alas, today's visit fizzled. Matt texted just as I was getting ready to leave. "Rebecca's really sorry but something came up," he explained. "She says today's not a good day."
Bummer. And especially bummer because it's not the first time this week a relative nope'd out of visiting with minimal explanation why. Three of my nieces basically ghosted us, leading to us leaving town a day and a half early on Tuesday.
