It was a wonderful weekend!
Eight of us got together for dinner last night! Ian and family, Mack, Trevor, Robyn and myself.
Ian had been wonderfully helpful in the morning putting up pictures, moving heavy stuff etc. and when Trevor came we all drove to Costco and bought a small TV set for the kitchen which Trevor mounted. Daisy had gone with kids to visit old friends in San Diego, and Mack, when he got off work drove them back here. The kids busied themselves with drawing and music-making on the keyboard, and Daisy and Robyn got reacquainted. Trevor played some YouTube videos of his latest passion, paramotoring, and Ian and Mack watched intently.
Since Ian had to leave early today, the party broke up shortly after we got back to the villa from dinner. Trevor and Robyn drove back to the South Bay, and Mack left for his place, and all was quiet again.
Thank you all for coming.
Today people here are leaving with suitcases, but I am glad I am not traveling over Thanksgiving weekend. Mack and Trevor and Robyn are coming here for Thanksgiving dinner, and we will call and say hello to the gathering at Brianne's house in Washington. Then, full speed ahead to Christmas!
I am thinking of compiling a cookbook with contributions from family members, quite a number of whom like to cook. Do you have a favorite recipe to share? Stay tuned!
Love to you all, Val
