First Meal in the New House

It was time to have the kids over for lunch again. Something we had been missing. Sunday lunch often happened at our place and Hailey and Jayda like to come in our car. It hasn't happened much this summer and we were all missing it. It was time. Plus it was Erik's birthday. But where should we eat, it was very hot outside, and not enough room in the RV , so the next choice was the new house. Of course, there was lots of room there, and it was even pretty cool. We set up a couple of tables in the living room, (the actual dining room was full of paint cans and supplies, and boxes of hardwood), got out the paper plates and cups, and I made chicken and potatoes on the BBQ, we had fresh cukes from the garden for a salad, some corn, bread, and a birthday dessert that Amber brought, and it was GOOD!

The welcoming committee!

It was a good time and the first of many Sunday lunches at our place again. I am so looking forward to some of those normal things again. And when the play room is done, the kids and I can go and play, like we used to, while the others cleaned up and visited. I think the kids and grandkids are waiting for some of that normal too. The downside of it all was that Kristy, Graham and Norah couldn't join us today. We would have had room !
