We were gathering to celebrate Son #1's Birthday next week, so Son #2 and his family joined us at a favorite restaurant near the college campus. We managed to pull everyone from earlier activities on their schedules.
Granddaughter #1 (sitting next to Handsome Grandpa) is a freshman attending the same college as her cousin this year. She came from work to join us. Daughter-in-love #2 is a realtor who had an open house, so she came after that was over, and Son #2 and Granddaughter #2 arrived from home. In this photo, Grandson had to duck out for a 15 minute team meeting at school, but he surprised us by coming back before we left.
Standing in the entrance to the restaurant probably wasn't the best place for our final photograph. Folks on the left side of the group were standing on the staircase. Even so, this is a nice way to remember that we were all able to gather together for a most wonderful Sunday meal and Birthday celebration.
We're already off to the races (metaphorically speaking) this week. It's going to be a busy one, but I'll be getting in more needle dancing in an effort to complete the embroidery portion of my Winter Song piece by Friday. Once that's finished, I'll be cutting and piecing fabric for assembling.
Tag will visit with you tomorrow, and I'll be back soon. Have a great week, and I hope you can make time to do something you love with someone you love.
Looks like a fun weekend!

Such a nice family gathering. Prayers for your surgery tomorrow. Bonnie
ReplyDeleteThanks, dear Bonnie. Surgery is Wednesday. I'm hoping to be back as usual, but it may take a few days.

Sounds like a wonderful family time and all the more special because they've been so rare over the past couple of years.
ReplyDeleteWill be thinking of you tomorrow and hoping all goes well.
Hi MA:
DeleteI'm so glad we're getting back to normal here. People are meant to gather and be social. Anything less is detrimental. We had a great time. I've been thinking all last week that my surgery is Tuesday. It's actually Wednesday. Time flies either way, right?
