Round the Table

We had pot roast and gravy for dinner. Dinner for six. How nice! Athena and Brian were here and Tami, another daughter, was here from Colorado. She brought along a friend Virginia who is also in the National Guard. They are here for almost a week at a Guard conference for recruiters. I love having the table full of food and all the seats filled. It's great to be with loved ones. We have such precious children and grandchildren!

In all the excitement of expecting our guests and planning the meal, I forgot it was Sunday. Richard must have suspected that I would do that because he called to remind me so I wouldn't miss church. I was running the vacuum and didn't hear the phone, so they had church without me.

Tami and her friend didn't have a great flight out and Virginia's luggage didn't arrive with them, so they were delayed. We started late but still had a fine time visiting with our loved ones and getting to know Virginia. Athena and Brian have other things they need to do tomorrow, but Tami and Virginia will join us for a day with Disney. We'll be getting an early start, so I'll head for bed now so as to be fresh tomorrow.

What a blessing it is to share the bounty the Lord has given us with our loved ones. I am ever amazed at the love the Lord lavishes on us!
