Phil and I went to a family gathering at my sister, Dixie and her husband, Paul's beautiful house last night. Our precious cousin, Jonelle had flown up from her home in Denver to visit her mom, our beloved Aunt Elaine and sister, our treasured cousin, Shannon. They drove down to Dixie's along with Elaine's sister, our adored Aunt Bev and we enjoyed a mini-Ellison family reunion. We had a wonderful visit and a bountiful dinner prepared by Dixie and Paul. Along with a plethera of culinary goodies, Phil and I especially enjoyed the fried oysters ... Paul's specialty and one of our favorite foods. Dixie's children, her exceptional daughter, Tammy and her special (and only) son, Shane along with his lady, Wendy and her youngster, Logan joined us. It was nearly midnight when we got home so I'm a little groggy this morning although we only had about 10 miles to drive. Our family had to drive back to SeaTac, Puyallup and Seattle! Everyone knows my favorite pastime is visiting with my kinfolk, so we really appreciate the fact that they braved the stormy weather and traffic to come and spend some time with us! Hopefully, their trip home was uneventful. I plan to respond in kind once the work on our house is finished and it is on the market. At that point, (it says here in fine print) we'll have plenty of time to spend with family without feeling guilty because we are neglecting our "to do" list. ** It continues to rain ... no break expected until next week.
