We had a good Fall Breal this week. After being with us for two weeks Mom Emery was ready to get back to the peace and quiet of Penney Farms, so we took her home, spent the day with her, and then spent a few days with my parents. It was great to get some face-to-face time with them - we talked, I went to TOPS with Mom, we grilled, we went on the lake and to the beach, helped around the property, and goofed off, too. We had a nice dinner with Mark and Mary and Marcela at Chili's last night. I hated to leave this morning but our day-to-day lives need us back in Georgia.
I feel like we've been running really hard the past couple of weeks - it was good to play some this week, but now it's "back to reality" time. Fun, fun!
We had as good a time as possible with Mom Emery at our house and in Arkansas the past couple of weeks. We took her back to Penney Farms this weekend. It was hard to leave her, but she was happy to be back in her quiet world agan: :-)
My brother celebrates another milestone along the path of life today. I hope he and his family have a good celebration out there in Oregon...
It was fun going to the high school football game tonight. The boys, Mom Emery, and I all piled in the van to go see the first game where the band put on their halftime show. The show was great! The kids have a big sound with 120 in the band, and they played and marched very well. The game was fun, too - we left when our team was up 30-0 - woohoo!
Today is my mother's birthday! We hope you have a great day relaxing and celebrating, Mom!
We drove out to Arkansas to go to Sue's sister' memorial service over this weekend. It was very nice - both of Sue's brothers came, and we took Sue's mom with us. It was amazing to have almost all of Sue's family together, and the service went well. Sue's cousin Dawn officiated, Sue signed a song, Megan sang a song, and Sue's brothers and sister-in-law read different things. The whole sevice was very nice. Afterwards the family went out to dinner, then went to Sey's house to have dessert and hang out. For being a sad occassion it was nice to gather as a family.
