Family Times...

Yesterday, we had a family dinner. Everyone gathered in after church family. It is so much fun to be with family. It is about as much fun putting it all together as sitting down and eating at the table. We have a large family and everyone brings food into share. They put the finishing touches on when they get here, so most of the adults were standing and working around in the kitchen. Some holding the babies or talking to the little children. We told telling stories, jokes and shared all kinds of advice and thoughts. It was just a fun time. Of course, the meal might not have been as quick as possible, but most don't seem to care.

After we cleaned up, we walked in the garden. We looked at the vegetables that were up and discussed the flowers. Each of us shared our own thoughts and plans for our gardens this year.

Last night, my husband and I sat by a campfire on our little island by the pond. Just two little old people on an island by themselves watching the fire and enjoying being together after a big day.
