who finally arrived from California and so came into focus.
On Friday I had to have blood drawn and so walked to the doctor's office stopping at Small World on the way back to meet Jane who was having coffee with Andrew Fergueson
who finally arrived from California and so came into focus.
Back at home, this car pulled up
and out came Dick
and Fran.
A bit later, Jack arrived
followed by Emma, Kate and Tess
and Betsy and Matt
and so the family posed for a family photo (or three).
Once in the house, there was some exploration in the family room

where Jane came forward
as Dick and Fran watched
as did Tess, Ben and Betsy
while Jack and Matt pushed Emma and Kate in the hammock
before Kate made her way across the yard
and there was the hammock crowd
Betsy
Kate
and people heading back to the hammock
as the outside activities continued

and after a group photo
with a closeup on Jack
we made our way to town
where Ben posed with Fran
Betsy posed with her kids
and Jack showed off his hat
while Suzanne and Ben awaited the action
but nothing seemed to be changing except for our discussions
with Ben explaining things to Tess
as Suzanne and Fran posed
as did Betsy and Matt and 3 of their 4
and then Fran and Dick posed with Kate and Tess
while the waiting continued
and Emma climbed on Matt's shoulders
Tess climbed onto Dick's
and Jack climbed on mine.
Back at home, Sam Cummins arrived
as did Matt Traylor who posed with Jane
and the kids enjoyed their presents
before Kate
Tess
Emma
Tess again
Kate again
Tess
and eventually Jack posed in the small chair.
All of this built our appetites and so we came to dinner
where there was corn and other bread
macaroni and cheese
and Brussels sprouts
and the mac and cheese was served
as was the salad
and so the assembled ate
before Sam and Ben left to go bowling
and pie was served before ti was bed time.
