It’s been an eventful past few days.  No time for blogging or even checking email.  When I finally turned on my pc just a few minutes ago, it was heart-warming to see that I’d had many friends visit me while I was gone!

We had company this weekend.  Arriving Friday night was a family of six. There were children all about the same ages as ours.  My oldest son, Matt, grilled hamburgers and hot dogs for us Friday night.  On Saturday, he made all of us scrambled eggs, hash brown potatoes, bacon, and toast.  And Sunday evening, he grilled filet mignons, made gourmet mashed potatoes, and veggies grilled on a skewer.  What a blessing to have such a helpful son.    (And gifted with a talent for cooking!)

I didn’t really know our weekend company all that well before Friday night.  I wasn’t sure just what to expect, or how it was all going to go.  I was a little bit nervous!!  Having company for dinner and then everyone goes home at the end of the evening, is one thing; but to have company stay for the entire weekend until Monday afternoon is a completely different event!

The kids all played well together and we got to know our company a whole lot better.  But the best part of the three day weekend was the amount of time I got to spend with my new grandbaby, Kayleen.  I had oodles and oodles of snuggle time with my sweet, one-month-old g/b.  Family time, friends, boating,  good food, andlots of  relaxing time to hold the baby – the weekend was everything I could have hoped for!
