This last week my son and daughter with their families, plus Celia's two daughters were here visiting. There was enough food brought into this place to fill both the house refrigerator and the one in the shop. There was enough frozen food to refill the freezers, that grandpa can enjoy when he gets tired of his own cooking. Meals were scheduled according to whenever the grandkids wanted to eat, which was usually at any time. The menu included fruit, sandwiches, crackers, cheeses, chili, muffins, cereal, assorted veggies, cold drinks and even a Costco pie was almost costumed in one setting. More dishes were utilized than I can remember in a long time. The dish washer had to be utilized for the first time in months.
The grandkids kept busy by chasing lizards, picking blackberries, playing on grandpa's tractor and Sam, the youngest at two and half wearing grandpa's hard hat with ear and face protection. It was the most action around here in a long time.
😊. Sounds like the family visit was a huge success.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing; as usual, we can relate. We are preparing for a family gathering, which is a great excuse for baking all sorts of goodies. Our shopping list is really long. I too hope the children will keep busy with all sorts of self-entertaining activities. We are also extremely covid aware; in addition to having receive our vaccines, we are self-quarantining prior to gathering.
