Wow, it's been awhile since I've blogged!
I'd fully planned on getting a couple of blog entries in while my parents and my aunt were here, but alas, even the best laid plans go awry at times.
Their visit flew by! It went by
almost as fast as the hubby's and I's October Oregon visit. And the week that my aunt was here? Ha. It seemed like 1 day. It was sooooo much fun having my family at the new house vs. our Ashland rental from the days of yore. Actually, it's more like, the days of
ick.
If you thought I might be getting better at remembering to take pictures, you'd be wrong.
If you thought I wouldn't just count on scrounging together photos that my family took, you'd be wrong.
If you thought I'm old enough to know better, well, you'd be wrong.
The important thing is I do have a
few photos to share from the last 2 weeks :)

Myself, Mom, and Aunt Marilyn, upon our reunion as a fabulous trio :) |

The hubby's Aunt and Mother came down to the house to visit with everyone. |

Dad, Aunt Marilyn, Myself, Mom, and Hubby. Man, I need a piece of art for that wall :) |

Gizmo thoroughly missed his Grandpa. |

Lunch at the local brewery. |

Unbeknownst to me, this stadium near us was home to one of the 1st NFL teams. I can't believe I didn't know that! |
|
Appetizers we had for a small party which included my parents, the Hubby's Aunt, Uncle, and Mom, and some of the Hubby's high school friends. |
|
We finally had one sunny, warm day on the day before my parents left. At least we had one day where we got to sit outside in the sun! |

The Hubby and my Mom. That's our house in the background!

Also, we did a million other things that I
did not take pictures of, including: A trip to Huntington, lunch at the
Black Sheep Restaurant in Huntington, a wonderful dinner at the Hubby's mother's house, watching 5 million hours of the NCAA tournament, drinking countless gallons of wine, and dining at an
Irish pub in Cincinnati.
In the meantime, I must be getting old, because I'm so tired from their visit! And it was a relaxing visit. Oy. I can't imagine how 40 is going to feel if 30 feels like this :)
If you tackle the tamales or the sirloin chili, let me know. I will reciprocate as well. We had a super time and really look forward to visiting again! By the way, you're not tired - just relaxed.
ReplyDeleteRight!
Tamales are next on my bucket list! But a chili-gravy may be the next hurdle I tackle :)
