Labor Day

We spent yesterday afternoon with Maleah and Casey and Casey's parents. Ryan joined us after work. We ate the most delicious steaks, complemented by baked beans, baked potatoes, potato salad, salad, watermelon, corn and rolls. Casey had also cooked some hamburgers for those that didn't want steak.

Grandma was able to go with us and I think she enjoyed it. She rarely gets out anymore because of lack of mobility.

After supper, we played games. My family has always loved games. Before we had children, Mike and I used to have other couples over to play games after church on Sunday nights and many Friday nights. Every year for christmas, I got a new game for the family.

I was very proud of my college aged children when they were having groups of their friends over on weekends just to play games. They played many board games and even enjoyed a few nights at one house where they all dressed in black and played "Capture the Flag". I think that is healthy.

The only down side to yesterday's activities was that Shawn and Shannon were not a part. We can hardly wait for Christmas. There is already a big meal planned for Christmas Eve at Maleah and Casey's house.

Families!! Isn't God good!
