Saturday Ritual followed by family visits

Got up on Sat morning to discover I hadn't pack either one of my hair brushes! The only thing I had was a little tiny pocket book size! Susan needed to go to Tesco's (the english version of a W*lmart super center) to pick up some last minute things for our family get together.
This one is brand new & eco-friendly!

The *trolley/greeter guy posed for me

They did not carry hair brushes........they may now though, as they had so many requests for them today! (all three of us ask three different clerks for them)

When we got back Susan's mother & father were there with lunch & the Sat newspaper which has the "super duper" weekly crossword. Nigel's son Barry & his girlfriend Zoe also came around(they live next door). Lunch is always sandwiches made with crispy hot french bread followed by jam donuts....to die for! The crossword gets passed around & everyone participates in solving it. Nigel & Susan have what we call the "reference library" at the top of the stairs & the rules are - anything can be looked up in a book, you can collaborate with each other but no "googling" answers before Mon AM. Usually Nigel will check with Susan's mother late Sun to see how she's doing but really wants to have his solved before then!

Later on in the afternoon Greg & Jennifer showed up, then their daughter Ruth with hubby Jason & their children James, Daniel & Evie. Greg's son Adam along with his girlfriend Michelle also came. Then a little while later Nigel's other son Kevin with his girlfriend Kayleigh joined the party.
This is Daniel - doesn't he have a "cheeky" face?

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY BIG BROTHER

Happy birthday to my big brother Terry...........have a wonderful day!

Forever Family Day

Oh my.....where does the time go!  Ten years ago this scared & tiny little girl was brought into a room full of strangers. She was so confused by the strange faces. Now look at the beautful, confident girl she has grown into. We love you LiLiđź’– Love

Yowsa!

 I was woken up around 3:30am yesterday by thunder as a line of severe storms were rolling through the area.  My alarm goes off at 4:00am so I figured I'd just get up.  I was standing in the kitchen waiting for the coffee pot when there was a blinding explosion in the back yard along with a huge clap of thunder.  It was like someone threw a bomb in the yard....needless to say it scared the crap out of me & I was waiting for a tree to fall.  We didn't see anything & I left the house at 7:00am while it was still raining.  Popster didn't see this until last night but it had struck this big oak that is about 15 feet from our sun room.  It just stripped that piece of bark right off the tree  Makes the expression "Don't mess with Mother Nature" become very real!
