Much food!
Lots of talking and hanging around. I was busy and forgot to get some pics of the games...they looked like fun too. The lady in the sweater and jeans, with her back to the camera, had a little story to tell me...I tell it in a minute.
Brother helping little sis roast a hotdog!
Who had the most fun tonight? I'm thinking it was this little guy...Eddy the Boxer!
Nobody loves a group of people and kidlets running around the Pines more than this guy....plus, if they had some human food that accidentally hit the ground....well, it just doesn't get any better than that! Now for the quick story of the lady in the sweater. She and her children are new to our Church. This was the first time she had been here at the Pines. When I came out to meet her she was teary eyed....It turns out that she grew up in our house..in fact, her parents built it. Her parents have passed away and she hadn't been there since they sold it to the people who had it before us. She was hesitant to go inside, but I invited her in and she told me what was different, what used to be where and what rooms had been added or changed. I enjoyed it, but I know it was hard for her. I did smile when she said the kitchen used to be bigger...or atleast it used to look bigger when she was younger! I think we always look back and think our apartments, or homes were bigger in our memory than in reality. So all in all it was a great night. After everyone left Jack and I sat out by the fire for a bit enjoying the beautiful Spring evening and watching the fireflies come out for the first time this year...a little light show just for us! I've been so busy these past weeks trying to get yard work done, working at the hospital, taking care of Grandkiddos, so I'm behind in commenting on my blog buddies posts. I'm going to get caught up before we leave to visit my Mom for her birthday this weekend. It should be a blast and I'm looking forward time with family...not to mention "blog worthy" moments!
