– love that we can just be ourselves together
and love that we soooo enjoy being together….
At
one point during our recent gathering we had two in the kitchen
visiting, two in the den catching up together with a little fishing show
thrown in, one asleep on the couch, one dancing around the living room
feeling the beat with a cell
phone pressed to her bottom
[it wasn’t me!]
a couple sitting outside enjoying the day,
And the rest immersed in a
super fun reality game where you can
walk in space and throw planets
around. Cool.
I think the ones watching others on the screen had almost as much as fun as those 'in' the game! [And you got it - there's no problem with moving the furniture around to enjoy our time.]
Seriously it was a wonderful day of just BEING together. We don’t do it often enough.
And
you know what, I could doctor these photos up
[and probably will a bit
before I print them - ha]
so that you don’t see the REAL LIFE that was
happening all around us – the full garbage can – gotta love it –
workman’s
crap – umm, STUFF all over the yard – shutters on the ground and
leaned against the house, dog toys piled on top of the crate, breakfast
dishes in the sink, ladders, ladders, EVERYWHERE…etc. etc. etc.
No one lives in a Pinterest
Perfect world, y’all.
Sure, we cleaned and tidied up, and I got my summer décor out…
But the day was more about the people than the things…
Well…
maybe it was a little bit about the food too –
My sweetheart cooked his
delicious fish and fixins!
Others brought ‘sides’ to share together…
and we ended with a little make-your-own ice cream sundaes!
So much fun - and we don't do it often enough, so we?
I'm thinking Mama's beef stew and a big ole pot of chicken stew
for our next gathering... what say ye?
We ended our day with just us at local Mexican meal with plenty to share.
Does my heart good to have us all together!
