We've been busy visiting with Jack's brother Melvin and his wife Betty here in soggy Worthington. On Friday we enjoyed visiting with their son, Scott, who's home from California for his parents 60th wedding anniversary celebration.
Scott and I cracked 9 DOZEN eggs on Saturday for an egg casserole to be served to 50 people on Sunday and then Scott was assigned other duties while his sister Barb Walter and I cut up fruit for a fresh fruit salad. Saturday evening we drove about 40 miles to Lake Shetek near Slayton where Betty and Melvin had chartered a boat for a 2-hour dinner cruise on the lake. It was great seeing all our nieces, nephews and cousins.
Today we attended church as a family (7 pews!) and then went back to their house for a fantastic brunch! The garage was turned into a party room with 6 large tables and another table in the house to seat the 50 guests. The weather cooperated and the sun was out and very light breeze, so the little ones could play outside, and the families could sit in the sun if they chose. By 4:30 everyone had departed, and I'm certain that Mel and Betty put their feet up and relaxed!
The weather's so nice here right now, and the forecast is for sun all week. We think we'll prolong our stay by a few days :-) Don't know where our next stop will be, but will keep our record going!
