It's Not Just Age

I'm tired. Richard is tired. Two of our daughters are tired. It's not just age. The girls are much younger than we are and one of them is a military officer and in super shape, while the other can dance all night and roller skates every week. So what's the deal?

Three late nights talking and playing games and just enjoying being together has left us pooped. Tomorrow, they'll all go back to work and I'll rest up. I won't see the girls until Thursday when we'll have dinner and go to Cirque du Soleil. Then Kim will fly back to Colorado on Friday.

Tonight we ate dinner here and played a card game brought over by Athena and Brian who also brought over some very nice wines for dinner and dessert. The game was about beans. I enjoyed it.

It was good to cook for the people I love so much. I was tickled that they seemed to really enjoy the meal. I fixed chicken a new way (I don't have a name for it) and scallopped potatoes (in which I use leeks) along with veggies in cheese sauce I just poured out of the bag and nuked. I wonder if my family knows how much they bless me when they come to my home. It's not a big or fancy home but it's ours and we love it. Having family come is very special.

I've been working on a wedding portrait for Kim and Steve for months. I finished it night before last. Well, not really. Kim and Athena helped me see the vaque "not quite right" parts and work out ways might fix that. I'll give that a try. I hope the picture blesses them.

As for me, I think bed might bless me pretty well right now, Will write more tomorrow.
