I'm traveling back to
Michigan after a wonderful time spent with much of my family at the
home of my younger sister in southwestern Indiana outside of Evansville.
There were 22 of us there most of the time. For one day, my older
sister and one of her daughters and husband joined us, making it 25. You
can imagine that cooking for that crew was a challenge! Thankfully Mary
Ellen's daughter lives next door, so they share cooking
responsibilities. The other daughter and some of the daughters'-in-law
also helped, and all the women were chased out of the kitchen/dining
area the day we celebrated Christmas, while the men did the cleanup!
That was a first, but one I would hope would be revisited in the future.
Before
we left there, we had a baby shower for Mary Ellen's oldest
daughter/second child, who with her husband and three children are
awaiting the birth of a surprise addition to their family, near the end
of March. It was fun. Husband Kevin's mother was also there and seemed
to really enjoy the event. The first picture shows the afghan I made for
the new baby, a little girl. It's my first crocheted project in years
and I would never have completed it if it were not for the help of one
of the women in our church. Thank you, Avice.
