And More Fun

What greater blessing to give thanks for at a family gathering than the family and the gathering.

Good morning. Weather is warming up here,  but we have lots of rain today.  Guess I will be staying in again.  Hopefully the books for one of my classes will arrive today.  I am so anxious to begin with my courses. 

Not all family could be there on Thursday. My grandson Scott had a wedding, and my daughter's husband could not fly out until Friday eve after work. So, on Saturday they packed into a car and headed for my house. This was something I had only fantasized about. Never thought it would happen, but dreams can and do come true. My granddaughters had flown out to a wedding on Friday morning so they were unable to attend. 

So, on Friday I did all the shopping for the party and put the sauce on.  Simmered it all day. 

Also did the last minute cleanup and baked the cake.

I made a huge pan of lasagne and a special cake.

 The lasagne got to him.

 This is me and Mary Ann, my daughter's childhood friend.  I remember going swimming in her pool.

Jerry and his sister digging in.

 Me, Mary Ann, Lisa and Jerry.

 My grandson Scott and his son Damian.

 All of us outside my building.

All and all it was a perfect week, one I shall cherish forever.  I'm am so blessed to have them all in my life again.  Not everyone gets a second chance.

Have a good one.
