Another partial G-clan gathering at our place yesterday. Our niece, husband, son, his girlfriend and a family friend shared with us an afternoon of refreshments, Dale's famous chili with lotsa toppings and freshly baked cranberry-orange bread with butter. Dessert was devil's food cake topped with cool whip, chocolate syrup, caramel syrup and almonds.
Today is rainy, and the forecast is calling for storms this afternoon. The book "One Hundred Years of Solitude" arrived, and I'm chomping at the bit to get into it. Will be interesting to read a fictional book written by a guy from Argentina in 1967.
Have submitted my article to the editor of our monthly Venny Newsletter. The boyfriend suggested a piece about the new pool table recently installed. I researched billiards and the game of pocket pool and came up with a history of the game of pool, which I hope the readers will find interesting. Like all else, there's history and a whole lot we don't know about the every-day things around us. At home on the farm we had a regulation size pool table that my brother bought, and never did I think about the history of playing pool.
Cuddy and I snuggled in bed early last evening, 10 o'clock we shut off the lights. One thing for sure, I'm worn out when our guests leave. But, we sure did have an afternoon that will fit perfectly in the memory album. Three generations together, sharing and caring, that's pretty special. Any way you slice it, in this time of human social interactions, peace and harmony are paramount.
This morning when I was on YT, a video popped up explaining why God removes people from our lives. Didn't take time then to watch the 38-minute video, but most definitely will later today. It's something we all have to deal with sooner or later, and some insight might be beneficial to the understanding of why certain ones exit our lives. Just maybe there is a good reason, one that is designed for our best interests.
This is one of our favorite days, raining and gloomy. We have the lamps lit, and we're in our cocoon safe and sound. Cuddy is snoozing in his bed. Once in awhile he looks up to see if we're both in our recliners. Then he lays his head down and goes back to sleep.
Ta-ta for today.
