Family Time
Today was an absolutely splendid day. The girls and I went out and visited Aunt Patti and Uncle Alan at their home.
It was a nice drive - especially because Dicea drove so I didn't really need to try to remember how to get there (though I had mapquest and mom directions).
The day was perfect - light breeze, enough shade to not be hot, not a rain cloud in the sky.
For the first time ever I got to see what is in one of the outbuildings on their property (lots of cooltoys tools and the like. Alan showed off his garden as well.
We were treated to an array of cool nibblies and then dinner. OMG I don't know what the butcher they go to does to the meat but WOW let me tell you WOW. Steak was (to quote Rachael Ray) "delish" (even if a bite went down wrong for me and tried to kill me). For those who were there for my move weekend it was the same place they got the roast beef and hamburgs so you can guess how wonderful the steak was. We also had fresh from the field sweet corn - fresh as in picked that morning, salt potatoes and melon that was sweet and melted in your mouth.
I sooooo have to get the recipie for the peach thing Patti made for dessert. YUMMO.
It was so nice to just sit on their back porch and hang out with them and the girls and enjoy one of the last sunday afternoons of the summer.
I am very glad I and my family were able to reconnect with Alan and Patti a couple years ago. I really enjoy their company and hope to get more time to just hang with them.
We've already been invited out for their halloween bash. So this means the three of us need to work on costumes. Hehehehe, it will be fun
