What a treasure! Usually, we get together in Gatlinburg after our family reunion. This year we won't be making the reunion because Lee's granddaughter is getting married on the same day as the reunion. Granddaughter's weddings always trump family reunions! So, I was afraid we wouldn't get this little reunion together at all this year. Gretta made it happen for spring break, though. Garrett managed to get off work for the week and Gretta managed to join us for the week of her spring break and was able to stay for the week of Garrett's spring break. She had to jump through some hoops at her own school to make that happen and had lots of support on her end to make it happen. We're so grateful! I will treasure the memories. One especially of Elena crawling up into Lee's lap to count the pages in his novel! She claimed she only knew the easy numbers to 100, but she knew every single number. I guess they're all easy, once you know them. She and Garrett were both a help in finishing the puzzle, too. Gretta worked for hours with me and we got it DONE, much to Lee's surprise!
It's pitifully quiet around here, but we sure treasure the memories. Thanks so much to God and all His helpers who made this week happen!
How lovely for you~ All that family there for you to enjoy! Have a blessed Easter. I think of you daily and pray for your good health.
ReplyDeleteDiane, thanks so much for your prayers and for keeping me in your thoughts! It was a wonderful gift to get to share that great time and I am so grateful for it. Thanks to you for being in my life, too; wish we were closer, but the mind is a wonderful place where we can enjoy lots we can't do physically, too. Love you lots!
