Karen’s Brian loves to surprise people. We surprised Fred on his 80th birthday with both girls and their families (minus Forrest and his family) at Cracker Barrel for breakfast.

That included both of Bill’s children and their spouses. We hadn’t visited with either of them for quite a while. It was wonderful. Unfortunately, Bill was on one of his trips and wasn’t able to be there.
There was one time there was a “family” meal together, but unfortunately, Bill and his family were not available. Both of our girls and their families were here, as well as my BFF and her husband. Sue and Bud were visiting us for a few days and got in on that meal. After we finished our meal, we just all sat around the table and talked. We told stories of our lives and what was going on. I don’t remember that Sue or Bud said very much, but they listened. She said later that Bud thoroughly enjoyed the meal as well as the conversation. Apparently their family doesn’t do that. Of course, they all live close to each other, so if they have a meal together, there isn’t too much need to “catch up” on their lives…they are living their lives together. Sue said Bud hadn’t enjoyed a time like that in, well, forever. Made my heart glad.
I really love family – and meals with my family!
