We spent the weekend away with my husband's family. It was very nice. So many gifts to add to the treasure box of moments to be remembered.
321-345
grace and forgiveness and honest communication
pouring rain, tons of mud and a warm welcome despite it all
chocolate cake with tea at 11 pm
conversations with little girls at 11:30pm
sunshine breaking through the clouds
tartan to wear for the Celtic Gathering
hearing bagpipes all day
picnic lunch in the garden
little girls in strollers
watching the Irish dancers and having my little Irish girl dance along
buying matching Celtic rings
riding a real steam-powered train
tasting haggis for the first time
riding the carousel with my little girl
free tickets to a football game
grandparents who love to watch our little girl
homemade doughnuts
conversations about weddings and relationships and food
laughter
custom-made drinks at Starbucks by my brother-in-law
spontaneous Sunday evening company
friendship
tears because we have loved so much
home to our own little hobbit hole
We wanted to go too, this weekend, but figured the weather would just be too tough to deal with - it's sad, 'cause we haven't missed a year in a while. Looks like you had fun, regardless!!! :-)
