We enjoy having company come to visit and this week-end my sister Christine and her husband Al are visiting from Nanticoke, MD. They came to Elba for her 55th Elba High School reunion today.
They arrived at our home mid-afternoon yesterday and we had fun visiting our brother Perry and his wife Carol after dinner last night. We sat on their big front porch and enjoyed talking about our growing up out in the country. There were 6 girls and one boy. Perry was in the middle. Our only brother is so special to all of us girls. He came to our house yesterday afternoon with a box of fresh veggies from his garden (new potatoes, squash, pepper and a dozen big red tomatoes). f
When Chris and Al got back home from their reunion this afternoon around 3 pm, our cousin Linda Westbrook stopped by for a visit. As she was getting ready to leave, her brother Tom and his wife Sharon Nix came over. Our afternoon was open - no plans, so we all had fun visiting.
We had so much fun remembering our past. I slipped into the kitchen and quickly put together an indoor picnic. We enjoyed hot dogs, slaw, butterbeans (left over), fresh corn on the cob, and an unusual dessert-orange jello with shredded carrots and pineapple! We ate on paper plates and had bottled water or canned diet Cokes.
What a fun afternoon! Tomorrow Linda heads for the NC mountains and on Monday, Tom and Sharon begin a long journey to Alaska in their motor home.
Next weekend all of us Wilson girls (6) and our families will be in Black Mountain, NC attending the wedding of our niece, our youngest sister Carolyn's daughter Beth Johnson.
We are one big happy family! Twelve First cousins....
