The love of a FAMILY is life's GREATEST blessing.

Sunday, September 12, 2010

Awaking early this morning, I knew it was going to be another memory days in my family's life. Joe's baby brother, Dave, wife Ruth Ann, daughter, Tara, son n law Chris and two of Dave and Ruth Ann 's grand children, were going to be stopping by on their way to Kansas from Gulf Shores.

I had invited all my family to meet at our youngest daughter's home to eat and visit with Dave and his family. Twenty- two showed up for a fun time. Talk of days gone by and loved ones that have gone, Croquet game was played and wonderful food was eaten.

Oh the talking all at one time, the laughter, the dogs even getting into the act. It was such a great and wonderful time. And then the time came when the goodbyes had to be said and you didn't know when you would see each other again.

Before they left Dave and Ruth Ann gave Joe and I a long beautiful plague that read:

The love of a FAMILY is life's GREATEST blessing.

Love your family and talk to your children about all the family members for some will not be with you for long.

A BIG THANK YOU TO MY FAMILY FOR MAKING THIS A DAY TO REMEMBER!
Thanks to Stephen and Liz for the use of their home. pan>
