It is more difficult to get our whole family together but today we will be all in one room together and what a time we will have. We are honouring two of our grand children who have or will have their birthdays soon. Such occasions are special and we all look forward to sharing stories and trying to get a word in with all the talkers in the family. We make up four generations and the stories are varied. We cross such a age gap that the very young are amazed with the stories of the old who talk of issues that the young cannot believe and the knowledge passed on is invaluable.
We barbeque and eat healthy food and have a little wine but mostly we fill up on just being together. After our visit life seems a little empty for a day or so but we look forward to our next get together. During these summer months we take every opportunity to mix and stay close. We are so fortunate to be able to have such wonderful times and blessed to all have good health and productive lives.
How lucky you are to have all so close together!! Enjoy :)
