… Or is it perhaps I am just getting that old? Families used to communicate, especially those that no longer live in the same household. They used to talk to each other, check in with each other, know what they were up to. Some may think this to be intrusive, but when its FAMILY it is not. At least IMHO. If you took a trip you let others know so they knew where you were. What if they needed you for something and reached out only to find you were not even currently in the same state? They would have to scramble for a backup plan I guess. A bigger what if… WHAT IF something happened to you and others did not even know you were not in town… I mean really people think about it… you really should let family know when loved ones are out and about. I mean it’s the family thing to do again, IMHO.
