the weekend

We had a visit from Gramma & Grampa Saturday!

They brought Gramma Joyce

who'd been chomping at the bit

to see our new little Lexi.

TJ and Luke & Lana came for the afternoon, too;

it was nice

having all our kids under one roof for a few hours!

Tony was reading a Henry and Mudge to Lily.

(Who is finally enjoying being read to;

up to this point, she has preferred to 'read' to herself.)

I got tickled when TJ joined them on the couch

so he could look at the pictures, too!

Just goes to show you that

great literature can be enjoyed by all ages.

We had a bit of sadness yesterday.
Our food processor

bit the dust.

My mother in law bought it for me
at a yard sale
16 or 17 years ago.
It was ugly as all get out - but it worked great!
She bought me a new one to replace it about 12 years ago
but I returned it.
It was a wimp compared to this one.
It started breaking a few months ago
so we knew the end was near.
It's not all bad, though.
Now,
I can finally get a Cuisinart!
Wohoo!
