Today, besides two of our friends from church, my nephew and his wife graced our home for brunch. Shannon and Brittney came to share in the meal as well and brought delicious apple crisp for dessert!!!
Rovelyn is from the Philippines and Kelly (my brother's son) fell in love with her and went over to her country to marry her. After several months, she was able to come to Canada last year. They will have a new addition to their family in September! It's exciting to see the next generation coming up to take over where we shall leave off. New life is always exciting.
We all had a great time visiting, laughing, remembering and telling stories. We always say we should do this more often, so why don't we????
I think getting older....older than we used to be.....it takes a certain amount of energy to make a meal for eight people. Not that I make everything, but it still takes a good deal of planning ahead and actually seeing the meal come to fruition. We ate heartily! Pork sausages, Ken's deer smokies, two different kinds of potatoes, scrambled eggs, white and whole grain toast, English muffins, blueberry and bran muffins, cheeses, jams, jellies, various fruit plates, orange juice, tea and coffee...with Shannon's "Double the topping" Apple Crisp with ice cream. Not a great meal for overweight folks, people with high cholesterol, heart patients, diabetics or anyone interested in being healthy! Not many around the table would have eaten had we been serious about that!
Here are some pictures we took....after our friends from church left...dang...I never remember to take out the camera until sometimes it's too late. But we managed these pics.
Rovelyn and Kelly Benson
I ate too much...now for a nap!
Sometimes I'm just too funny for words!
Shannon's serious side...:)
Ken with two of his girls...the other one was taking the picture!

Hope your weekend was good...and now to rest this knee.
