Summer is really flying by, so I thought I would tell you about a very nice experience we had in our family. Donna and her twin sister had their 68th birthday on Aug. 1, and since both sides of each of the families had never really met each other and some of our grandkids did not even know certain cousins and relatives even existed, I thought it might be a good idea to have a party at our house. Surprisingly to me, we had mostly everyone close with a few friends also from eight different states show up for the party. I had the best chocolate peanut butter cake that really topped off the party. We had about 45 people, and luckily I had enough food for everyone. I had planned a barbecue for Friday evening for just our three boys and our grandchildren, but they actually came in Thursday. I don't think they trusted me that I could put the whole thing together. So it all worked out so well, especially watching how all the grandchildren and cousins got along so well. Here is a brief video of the occasion.
