Family Sunday...

Yesterday was a Family Sunday Fun Day. I began when we met up with our elder son and his wife to watch our grandson play college football. 

Handsome Grandson had already taken off his gear when he met up with us, so of course, this grandma commented on his muscular "guns". He takes working out and healthy diet very seriously, so he appreciates that we notice.

The game started and ended with overcast weather, but the sun shone during the second and third quarters, and our team won! 

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.

Sunday Scripture...

Psalm 91:4

The Cardinals Are Finished...

She took another five hours or so, but Mrs. Cardinal is finally finished. Of course, I still have feet to do on both the male and female, that won't be done until I stitch the branches they're perched upon.

I'll begin work on the branches in the next day or so. I admit my hands are more than a little sore with the change to cooler weather, so I'm giving them a rest from stitching today.

I didn't get to those jalapeños yesterday, and I have squash and green peppers that need my attention. That may be on my agenda instead today. Or perhaps I'll just sit and read my new copy of Inspirations that arrived in yesterday's mail. Isn't it nice to have options?
