Basketball, Chocolate Pie & Guns




What a great weekend and it's not over yet! Friday, Allie & I traveled down to Henderson, NC to see Jennifer & Lizzy play basketball. They both play JV ball and then Jennifer plays Varsity also. Lots of fun and we're so proud of them. We drove back to Pburg for the evening.
Originally, Jeffrey was going to meet us early Saturday morning, but he overslept. Al & I headed out to Martinsville and Jeff wasn't far behind in his car. We went the back way and stopped at Starbucks for coffee and then on to the mountains.
There were about 25 of us at Aunt Janet's house for food and fun. I am so thankful for her. Since my mom is no longer with us, we are so welcomed to come there and be with cousins and other relatives. Jon & his family were there and the list goes on. The weather was beautiful. Allie told her cousin Steve that she wanted to learn to shoot a gun, so the guys jumped on that idea. We all piled in the pickup trucks and went out in the fields behind Aunt Janet's house. Allie, Jennifer and Lizzy learned to shoot a 243! Then they all shot a 22 rifle. How much fun was that! We are NOT gun people, but it was quite an experience for all of us!
We went back to the house for more food and games like Blokus and Catch Phrase. After everyone left, Jeff, Allie & I put on our pj's to spend the nite. We went thru all our photos with Janet's photo printer.
She told us that the old iron bridge going into Fieldale had been torn down and she had a commemorative Christmas ornament to remember it. She is going to get one for me, Allie and Jon David.
Sunday morn we had fresh blueberry muffins we hit the road back to Pburg. It was a rainy drive. We will long remember all the laughs and hugs for the weekend.
