Jeff & Chris’ House for Lunch

Sunday, November 28

 

Jeff and Chris hosted a youth party for Jenna on Saturday evening, and had some leftovers – plus some Thanksgiving leftovers – so after church invited me to join them for lunch.

Cerwin was not home, because he, Jere, and Josh left early in the morning to go to Wellsboro, Pennsylvania, in preparation for whitetail hunting on Monday and Tuesday.

 

 

After lunch we played Spoons – a fast-paced game of trying to get four identical cards.

 

 

The first one to get four identical cards grabs a spoon. You will notice that three of us are playing, but there are only two spoons – which means someone looses.

 

 

 

 

This is Chris laughing because she and Diana had grabbed spoons without me noticing. I was still frantically flipping cards.  

Gloria was taking the pictures.

 

 

 

While we played, Gloria experimented with my camera. This is finger jello.

Her next focus was me.

 

Then the rest wanted new portraits for my refrigerator.

 

Jenna, especially wanted a new one since she recently changed from glasses to contact lens.

Then we took “eyeball” pictures.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Gloria wanted a picture with their new puppy, Cassie.

 

 

 

 

 

Cassies loves all the attention she is receiving in this household.

It was after church on Sunday morning that Kristen called me to see if I was interested in going to New York City on Monday – instead of babysitting their three little boys.

There had been a cancelation of four people on the trip due to a funeral.

Chris, Jenna, and Gloria were excited to go, but Diana wanted to go whitetail hunting with her dad and brother Nathan. So that still left one seat.

I asked Kristen who would keep the boys, and she said that Deb (our daughter) and Roy were willing to come for them on Sunday and bring them back on Monday evening. Now how nice is that!

I said, “Of course I will go along!”

I have been to New York City several times, but never to just walk the streets and go shopping. Some of the ladies had tickets to see the Radio City Music Hall “Christmas Spectacular”, so after getting home from Jeff and Chris’ I purchased an online ticket very close to where the other ladies were sitting.

Tonight I plan to enter the first in a series of posts from yesterday’s New York trip.
