Family Visit






Last weekend my mom and dad, sister and her husband drove out to Ohio for a visit.  It was very fun to see them, and to show them around our new camp and new house.  We stayed up late friday night, talking, laughing, and eating muffins that looked more like cookies :) hehe.  Saturday dawned beautiful, and after a little continental breakfast, we loaded up in the truck and hiked around camp.  We enjoyed lunch in the camp dining hall, and then mom wanted to buy me a flower pot for our back porch, so we all drove to a nearby greenhouse to get some flower arrangements.  When we got back home that evening, the boys fell asleep in the living room watching one of our faves, "Rocket Man" and the girls sipped lemonade on the back porch while talking about life and painting toenails :)  I enjoyed the time so much...although it went by very quickly.  Joe started up the grill about 4:30 and we were eating a scrumptious dinner of grilled pork loin, fresh garden salad and baked potato  in no time at all.  Mom and Dad were so kind to bring out their hutch and beautiful shelf dad made us, which were both stored at their house in Milford.  Now, our house in Marengo is a bit more beautiful with these pieces of furniture.  I look forward to another visit sometime...hopefully this fall maybe?  I love my family very much...and did miss my brother Ben, who couldn't make it out.  Next time!  So, a wonderful weekend with great memories.  Thanks, Lord...for giving us such a loving family!
