Yesterday was so much fun. Well, all week for that matter. It is my spring break, and I am in Georgia visiting my mother. Four of my six siblings live in the same town as my mother. So last night, there were five out of seven of us who were here for dinner together - along with my mother. I made sweet and sour chicken, broccoli with cheese sauce, brown rice and rolls - and for dessert we had my famous apple pie. Unfortunately I didn’t make enough food - and my nephew and his family got here late - saw the food was almost gone - and so they visited for a few minutes and then left to go elsewhere to eat - despite our protests that we could have more food ready for them in just a few minutes. Sigh! Usually we have so much food left over. So I felt bad that they had to go somewhere else to get a meal. They got here after everyone else had already eaten and gone back for seconds. If they’d been here on time, they would have had plenty of food.
Anyway - back to the family visit. I brought the two grandgirls to Georgia with me. I love being with them, and it gives their mommy and daddy a few days together without childcare concerns. They have been so good. When their cousin, AG, was here last night, they loved having a little bit older girl (AG is in 4th grade) here to play with them. I hope AG can come over again today. This is her spring break, too.
In one of my mother’s guest bedrooms, she has two twin beds and one double bed. That’s perfect for us. The girls love having their own beds - and then I get the double bed - and they love having me sleep in the room with them.
And I loved sitting around with my mother and four siblings and talking. It is nice being with my mother and visiting in between visits from the other family members.
RT flew down yesterday afternoon to join us since he had a business meeting today just an hour away. The girls went with me to the airport, and we heard his plane first, then we saw it and watched it land. They were literally jumping up and down in excitement as they waved at him - and after he was safely landed, he waved back at them. Later, they sat in the cockpit and let him take their picture. I’ll try to post one of the photos later.
When I mentioned that I would sleep with PawPaw in another bedroom last night, they both insisted they wanted me to sleep in that double bed in their room. So that’s what I ended up doing - which was fine, really. RT slept in the other room, and I slept in the girls’ room.
It is so nice visiting family and catching up on each other’s lives.
