family visits

Yesterday and today were family visiting days. Yesterday, we went to my sister, Wendy's, for a BBQ. The kids had water battles, and the grown-ups talked and ate too much. We wrapped up with a game of knock rummy til after sunset, and got home around 9.

Today, we ate Chinese take-out at David's parents' home. "Nanny" and "Papaw" really enjoy having all of us over, and we played games, watched movies, and looked at all the pix from their recent trip to Venice. They went for their 50th anniversary. They made sure to ride in a gondola. Dad told me it cost $100/person - ouch! If I ever go, I'll have to take the Walmart-type gondola. This will be a basic metal canoe with a starter gondolier, mabye around age 13, and we'll just hope to stay dry!
