I’m sorry I haven’t posted anything for awhile. I’ve been out of state, travelling for three weekends in a row. To say I’m ready to be home for awhile is an understatement! But they were fun weekends.
Three weekends ago, I went to Kansas City to attend my nephew and fiance’s bridal shower. It was on the same day as the Royal Wedding, so that was the theme of the shower. The hostesses had made fascinators for all of us to wear. The shower took place in this fabulous, big ole house in KC. We had a delightful lunch, watched the fiance open gifts, watched a video of the groom’s take on the whole courtship and future, and ate fancy cake. So much fun!!!
On Memorial Weekend, I drove to Missouri to my aunt’s house, for our annual Morrow reunion. My mother was a Morrow, and had three sisters and a brother. I have multiple cousins and second cousins. It’s always so much fun to see everyone and catch up. One of my cousins has wanted, for several years, to have a Pie Day. This year we did it! Every meal was basically pies, pies, and more pies. It was everything from Chicken Pot Pie, to Taco Pie, to Fruit Pies, and everything in-between. What a fun idea!
This past weekend, we drove to Marland, Oklahoma for another nephew’s wedding….this time on my husband’s side of the family. We’ve all had reservations, for years, on whether the groom would ever get married. He finally found a wonderful gal, and I think they will be very happy. Once again, it was fun to catch up with that side of the family.
We stayed in an AirB&B farmhouse, that was just a few miles from the wedding. It was a Centennial Farm….it had been in the family over 100 years. It reminded me of my old farmhouse that I grew up in, in Kansas. After looking at the books in the house, I deducted that this was the home of a Methodist minister. There was also a book on the coffee table, that told the tale of the man who had grown up there. He was a past governor of Oklahoma. Wow! It turned out that yes, the daughter is a Methodist Deaconess, and she has been my daughter-in-law’s Spiritual Advisor for over 10 years. My daughter-in-law is also a Methodist minister. How weird is that?? It was a fun time at this house.
And now….I’m home for a few weekends. Maybe I’ll finish getting things planted in my garden. Maybe I’ll get a few posts written! Maybe I’ll even relax.
What are you doing, now that school is out and the heat has gone berserk??? Any big plans for the summer? Leave me a reply and press like if you enjoyed this post.
