A Rare Treat!

Last weekend we had the opportunity to drop in on my brother, John and his family. John recently had hip replacement surgery, so he is housebound for a while. We really had a good time visiting with them! Tonya fed us, and fed us, and fed us!!! We must have each gained 10 pounds over the weekend! :o) She's a great cook! We really enjoyed getting to know my niece, Michelle better too. We don't see them very often and she's all grown up now (she'll be 20 in December).
We managed to get them to agree to let us teach them how to play Catan. It can be a bit intimidating at first. Once we got into it a bit they really had a great time! I hope we get to stop by there again sometime soon. We just never know where we're going to end up each weekend. (Watch out! It could be YOUR house!)

Tonya


John (pardon his appearance--after all he DID just have major surgery)


The Catan board (such fun)


And finally...Michelle is showing us there are other uses for roads than just placing them on the board.
