Family Lunch

Wednesday, January 27

Our dried, decorative grass was pretty in the morning sunlight.

I was surprised to look out the window and see a hawk sitting in the dogwood tree close to the bird feeders, and tried to get close to the window with my camera, but it quickly flew away.

We look forward to this day – every three months – when Cerwin’s mother, her siblings, and some of the older (mostly retired) cousins meet for lunch.

On this day three of the siblings were able to attend. Mother’s sister Aunt Naomi is seated third from left.

Crackers and bread were served prior to the main course.

I chose this healthy and delicious vegetable wrap.

To make sure there was a balance between healthy and fried – I also chose corn nuggets as a side. I love these.

Cerwin’s mother is facing the camera on the right, and is seated next to John, her older brother. We are grateful to still have this older generation with us and doing so well, as John is ninety-four, mother is ninety-two, and I think Aunt Naomi must be getting close to ninety.

We had a smaller group that usual (some are in Florida), but it was a great time of fellowship.
