Ok, there comes a time when we must all get caught up with the little things that would run away from us if we weren't as asiduous as we need be. So, I must think back a few days and try to get caught up with the many things for which I must be thankful.
Sunday afternoon, I made my way to the cottage, expecting to meet with family for a day or so of R&R. When I arrived, I found that not only the ones I was expecting were present; they were also accompanied by some of their friends who had come to spend a day or so with them (with us).
Some people don't do surprises like this very well, but some of us just roll with the punches. As it turns out, this was a wonderful occasion to visit with all those who were present. This meant that there was time for catching up with one, through a quiet conversation or two, for the telling of stories so varied that I wouldn't know where to begin the relating,
Time for a boat ride, time for lazing by the water, time for some board games, and of course, time for partaking of one of the most copious banquets I've seen in a long time ... so much so that the leftovers filled more than twelve baggies not to mention basketsful.
Oh, and of course, a visit to the casino nearby, and no I didn't make a donation.
