Saturday with Family

We had a nice, though short, visit with Daughter, Granddaughter and her husband, and two great-grandchildren yesterday. Daughter brought lunch...deli chicken, baked beans, and sides. We supplied fresh lettuce from the garden, along with other veggies to make a salad, and a plate of fresh fruit. Daughter brought along a tempting cheesecake dessert, but I exerted my willpower and didn't sample it.

Hubbie had hoped for good weather, so we could enjoy some time outdoors, but we got showers. The boys, a four-year-old and an 18-month-old love playing outside, and they were none too happy about having to be confined most of the time to the indoors.

Around 2 p.m., the boys were very vocally demonstrating their frustration and weariness, so Daughter and family decided to hit the road. We figure the little ones conked out on the drive home.

About 3 p.m., Mother and I shopped at the worldwide discount chain store. I picked up some grocery items, but this trip was mainly for Mother, who only shops every couple of weeks, because she hates walking around that store.

We got back from shopping in time to start a Saturday supper of ground beef burgers (for Hubbie) and turkey burgers (for Mother and me) on buns, sauteed potatoes, and salad.

The rest of the evening was uneventful.

Hope you all have a great Memorial Day get-together. It'll be quiet for us...nobody here but us chickens.
