This week's prompt from
Carole is very easy. My husband's family have been gathering on Memorial Weekend for a loooong time-close to 20 years-maybe?! In the beginning all the grandkids were pretty small, toddler through elementary aged. Now we've got all adult kids and a wee one who was with us for his first Memorial Weekend get together. For the first few years we stayed at Calloway Gardens and then we began staying at the chalet's at Dillard-both in Georgia. This year we were at a new place
Big Canoe (Jasper, GA). Everyone as able to attend even the 2 nieces who live out of state. While the location has changed the great times together have not. Here's
some what we did -
10. Wine and and special cocktails were drunk along with eating some
fabulous food.
9. Knitting-lots! Of course, I brought way more than I'd every hope to finish.
8. Celebrated a special birthday-Steve's Big 50!
7. Play time with Charlie-
you can just see his head near the table. Such a sweet boy.
6. There was some pool AND ping pong
5. Time spent with the folks-although there isn't an individual group photo there were plenty taken, and I think if all share them everyone will be represented.
4. Reading-I started
Get Shorty, but didn't make as much progress as I've had liked.
3. Played games-I mostly stuck to the easy dice games like Zilch and Yahtzee so I could knit and not think too much.
2. Big Canoe Bingo which my
Sister in law created for us. I got at least 1 Bingo and had I done a little yoga I would have had more!
1. Talked and laughed-ALOT.
This weekend is always a special time for us, and we hope it continues for a very, very long time.
