Nice to see my Mom!

Mom, Dennice (my oldest sister) and Lois (Number 5 of my siblings) came up to visit for the day. 

We took them to Golden Corral for lunch..  And I think we all ate WAY more than we should have!  I love their dinner roles!  I even had dessert this time, and usually I don't.   After lunch we went back to our house.  Eler Beth showed off the puppies and her newest fossils.  I had some books for Lois and one to take home for Barbara.  We had a nice visit.  Mom had brought some of her old family photos that I'd asked for, so I could scan them into my computer.  I'll use some of them in my other journal and I want to make some copies of some of them.  A couple were pictures of me when I was little that I didn't have.

     I was about four years old here.  That would be about 1970.  Wow, look how blonde I was back then.  I'm riding my little stick pony.

     Here I am sitting in my Daddy's lap.  Again, that's about 1970 or 1971.  We were at my Papaw Roberts' house (Mom's Dad).   I've always been a Momma's Baby, but I think I was a little bit of a Daddy's Girl, too. 

They called me to let me know they'd gotten home safely.  I really enjoyed their visit.  Now we need to get down there soon to visit because it's been a while since I've seen everyone.  

Thomas and Eler Beth went fishing tonight.  They're going to fish all night.  Andrew decided he didn't want to go this time.  I think he's working on his "book" that he's writing (!!) and I think he's like me and just needs a little down time at home.  This has been a hard school year.  I thought about going, but man, oh man, I am so worn out from the past few weeks.  So I'm catching up on my journal and on reading other journals and I'm watching Double Jeopardy.  I really love that movie.

I shouldn't be hungry at all after that lunch, but it is rather late.  I think I'll just heat up some leftovers for the two of us, unless Andrew wants something else.  Hopefully he'll be happy with leftovers!

I may write more later.
