June 16th, 2008
Grey skies, rain and drizzle, and very cool temps here in New Hampshire today. Typical for June. Mother Nature is preparing for the heat of summer which is just around the corner. After a hectic, wonderful week, I am finding myself enjoying this day of quiet solitude.
For the first time in seven years, our whole family were able to enjoy each other's company. Ben, Rachel and the children came up from their home in Alabama where Ben is stationed right over the Georgia border at Ft. Benning. Ben had been in Iraq on a tour of duty and is now home safe with his family. In fact, the only member of this family who could not make this reunion was, Shelby, Chris and Kathy's 19 year old son who is in the Marine Corp. training for his upcoming tour of duty overseas.
Dee's six year old daughter, Sally, skipped school so she could visit with her cousins Eden, Israel, Celestial and Luci. There were surprises all week long. They enjoyed a day at Chucky Cheese, went to the beach, saw a movie, visited a zoo and finished the week off at Dee's wedding on Saturday. By the time things were all said and done, the week came to an end on Father's day as Ben and his family headed back to Alabama and Chris and Kathy headed home in upstate New York. Dee and Vern will be on their honeymoon until they return to work on Wednesday and Sally will be staying with us until then
I will be posting pictures very soon so, please visit again and see what I have added.
