Wonderful 4th

I'm sure you all have heard that we had a wonderful time over the weekend. Butch/Scott and Tammy were great host & hostess. The meals were great and went off without a hitch. Tina and Corie did a great job with breakfast. The one hitch was that so few of us knew about Tammy's new allergy which is nuts. It has just developed over the past few years and she doesn't broadcast it. So Sheri brought snacks with lots of nuts in them. It still was okay because I would have eaten way more than I did. The pinocle tournament was great...with the "old" woman winning.... again. When will you ever learn?? It was so great to have nearly the whole family together. But I will never be satisfied till we are ALL there at one time. It just isn't right when there is a missing element. So now we all start planning for next year. We were invited to stay at a family's home that has a spare queen sized bed....Maybe Papa and I will just take them up on it... And today we are getting a much needed rain. They don't need it up north of us and are getting it anyway. But we are loving it. We are through with Disaster Relief for a while. It is too wet to start the rebuild and we need to get some stuff done around here...
We love you all.
