There's just nothing like spending quality time with family, especially family that we don't get to see every day! Recently had some good visits with matriarchs from both sides of our families; Aunt Mildred Burk and Mawmaw Sylvia Griffin. It gives us hope for our future that these ladies, ages 91 and 88 respectively, are sharp and enjoying life to the fullest.
My brother Jim and his wife Aggie were visiting Mildred, so we grabbed the opportunity to horn in and enjoy the fun. We had a great meal at Cheddar's, then returned to Aunt Mildred's for some peach cobbler. Mildred was somewhat distracted, because her Rangers were playing. She enjoys explaining the game of baseball to us. We think she ought to apply to do the play-by-play, since she knows all the players stats without looking at a book!
Sunday after church we ran to New Braunfels so we could take Mawmaw out and buy her some lunch to celebrate Wes's up-coming birthday. She can't believe she has a son that old! McAdoo's located in the old Post Office is Wes's fave in NB, so it was Cajun Enchiladas all the way around. We also delivered photo prints from our Frio vacation with the Griffin clan, and made a book exchange (we trade the Mitford series back and forth).
What a blessing to have family like Mildred and Sylvia!
