We arrived in Porterville about 4pm on Friday...Uneventful trip and really not a bad drive...Herb drove the first and last leg while I filled in the middle...Freeway speed in Idaho is 80mph and if you don't keep up there is a danger of being run over...So peddle to the metal we left home at 5am and drove over 600 miles, stopping 3 times for food, bathroom or fuel.
The visiting started non stop after two years of only occasional contact via FB or texting...We met Blanche and Cris's youngest son, wife and three little ones (5,3 &1) who are living at their house while building a new house...Drove back to Morgan, where we visited with Loraine (my oldest sister & B's mother) at the care center, where she has lived for 3 years...Loraine recognized us immediately, me her youngest sister, her first question was, "When did you get so old? and I remember the day you were born." We had a good visit, then returned to B's for dinner, more talk and laughter/tears as we reminiced and caught up on family news...Spend Saturday fixing food for a small family dinner, niece Lynelle, husband Steve and Loraine joined us...Nieces are wonderful cooks, we dined on Sicilian lasagna, hot rolls, salads and a decadent rice crispy/carmel/chocolate/marshmallow--sticky/gooey dessert.
Then it was time for us to move on, 40 miles to Mona and Jerry's in Centerville...We visited until 9pm, then all crashed only to have daylight savings time make us get up an hour early...Breakfast was soon on the table so M and J could get to church on time...I have scrabble caught up, blogs read, Ci chimed in for a few short texts, Rusty FTimed, I missed Bobi so will catch her later...Must head for the shower and will peel potatoes and make salad to fill in the dinner of corned beef and cabbage that Mona already has in the crock pot...Looks like another sunny day and more family conversation...Photo's another day...Hugs To All...OWAV:)
