Sis and I, who are ten years and ten days apart in age, celebrated birthdays this month. She spent the week with us recently, and we enjoyed our favorite meals, shopping, visiting the art gallery, working jigsaw puzzles with Mother, and playing card games (Hubbie included).
My son and daughter-in-law joined us on Saturday of that week. Sis was here long enough to visit with them before she had to return home after lunch. Son and daughter-in-law stayed overnight. Daughter-in-law loves jigsaw puzzles, too, so we completed another couple of 500-piece ones during the weekend.
When we had completed the second one on Sunday morning, Mother, an avid jigsaw puzzler, admitted that she had finally OD'd on them. We'd worked about 12 of them between Christmas and this weekend.
Saturday evening, we played Michigan Rummy, at daughter-in-law's request. She beat the socks off us, taking large pots of chips at the king and queen of hearts, and the 7-8-9 of any suit, that had built up after a couple of hours of playing.
Daughter-in-law had also been looking forward to a session in the hot tub, but Hubbie discovered that the tub isn't heating as it should. Disappointment. Don't know when the tub can be repaired, since the closest business that works on them is a couple of hours away, and budget-conscious Hubbie asked that a repairman come and check it when he's in this area again, rather than make a special, charged-to-us trip.
Despite the hot tub glitch, it was a pleasant, restful week.
