Mon.-Brads and Taylor stopped over this morning. They went fishing with Susan and had supper here. We had our family and roasted hot dogs and s'mores and ate picnic food until it threatened to rain. They came inside and played Quelf. Great to see them. Wonderful nephews.
Tues.-Went out to Appomattox today to get some TL advice. Had lunch with Lisa at Granny Bees after getting groceries and then met Brads and Taylor at the Confederate Museum. Also went to the Info Center and then got hand-dipped ice cream at the store next door. Made taco salad for supper and then everyone went to Chi Alpha. Freeman and Philip put in a new vanity in our bathroom. Beautiful.
Wed.-Busy Day but got in a gator ride with Nathan in the eve.
Thurs.-Another busy day. Watched Julie and Julia movie in eve with Susan and we made bruschetta about 1/4 of the way through. Crazy thunderstorms in the eve. Yellow sky.
Fri.-Phil and I left around noon for Williamsburg and spent the afternoon/eve/night with Eldon and Sandy at their Timeshare. Went to the Mongolian Restaurant and enjoyed their buffet. We thought the waitress had put the utensils on the wrong table so we took them and she was aghast,"You ROBBED their utensils?!" She warmed up to us considerably by the end of the evening. Thank goodness. Played Pick One for an hour or so and munched on nuts. Had such a good time alone with Sandy while the guys looked at a building Phil built.
Sat.-Went to a great restaurant and had the Plantation special. Bought some homemade soap, earrings that match a set that I lost, and a little beach house for Naomi that lights up. Headed towards Pa around 9 and got stuck on I-95. Just made it to Joe's. Had no time for a shower and my clothes were wrinkled and my hair wild but had the best time at Brandon and Amanda's wedding. Sat with Paul and Linda, the Karwiks, and Russ and Teri at the reception. All four sets of grandparents were there and had a special prayer for the couple during the ceremony. Everything was relaxed, happy, and holy. It was one of my favorite weddings ever and it is the continuation of a beautiful love story. Got to be with old Hopewell friends and we basically knew or were related to almost everyone. Nathan fell asleep in my arms toward the end. He was enthralled with the chandeliers and fans and kept gasping and pointing. He enjoyed watching the dancing and I even danced with Phil a little bit. He's got it. I don't think I really do. Spent the night at Joe and Karen's.
Sun.-Went to breakfast at Geigertown Firehall. $8 for an all you can eat buffet. Almost all of the Hertzler's were there. Left from there to go home. Susan rode with Philip and Michael and Phil and I stopped quite a bit but still made it home in six hours. What a wonderful weekend. My heart will be warm from it all for a long while.
