Our weekend in review

Seems like I was just here typing, but a couple of days have passed.

First, and most important, to our beautiful niece, Morgan, we hope you had the BEST birthday! We love you!

Now on to duller things.

I cannot believe it is Sunday night already! Well, I think we are ready to start school back tomorrow. Some of us are more ready than others, but that is the "norm" around here. I still have papers to grade. {sigh} Oh, well. I may try to get it done tonight, but more than likely I'll wait until tomorrow. ;)

I did get a chance to do the puzzle I wanted to do. In fact, I put in the last twenty pieces in just the last half-hour. I loved being able to escape into another place for awhile. It was relaxing and stressful all at once!

Yesterday, John started working our bedroom door that leads to the outside. It had some water damage on the frame, so he has been working on replacing it. He missed our reunion today, because we couldn't lock the door. He finished installing everything yesterday, but it got too late (and too many bugs) to make the holes for the locks. I'm sure tomorrow he'll want to relax and he will have definitely earned it!

Today was the Threatt Family reunion. The Threatts are my mother's father's side of the family. We got to see Lorena and Jane (the first time since Enman's funeral). It was good to see everyone. Sandy (one of my cousins) and I were talking about how it was just last year at this very reunion we saw Yana for the last time. I heard the sadness in Sandy's voice when she said it, then mentioned it was the last time she (and I) got a picture of "pop-pop" (my Uncle Larry; her step-dad). I told her I had gotten a great shot of Yana last year, while she was laughing. That really brightened up Sandy's mood; I should email her that picture. But today was about catching up and remembering those we love, and have lost. It was a good day. And, as always, the food was delicious!
