Jeff's brother, Ken, came in this week from Georgia for a visit with Jeff and Annie along with Jeff's parents who drove down from Spokane. Neal and I were invited out to the home to have a bite to eat and play games. We spent the evening visiting with Karen, Richard and Ken along with playing "Pay Me" or "Nickles to Nickles". This silly card game has two names we found out. It is a fun game but can also be frustrating. It was so nice to visit with Jeff's family. We only see them about once every two years. Jeff's dad has had two or three major surgery's this past year and it has sure taken a toll on him.

Lynda Ann is a great hostess. As a mother, it is fun to see what your children have gleaned from their upbringing and what they have chosen to do like you or venture off into better and more efficient ways of taking responsiblities in thier homes. Lynda fixed a great dinner along with making up a batch of chocolate chip cookies, for which she is famous. She was scheduled to work the night shift at the hospital but carried on, knowing that she wouldn't have a chance to take a nap. We had a wonderful time. Thank you Annie for being such a GREAT hostess! I'm proud of you.

Jeff's parents leave today for Las Vegas, continuing their road trip and Ken will fly home tomorrow.
