Family Dinners of Various Sorts

Saturday, Rod called to invite us to ride with them to Heber for dinner at the Hub Cafe. The Hub serves good diner-type fare and we were well fed. The company was incomparable and the whole outing was punctuated with hearty laughter. I hope we do it again soon.

Sunday the family gathered for dinner. For a needed change from roast, potatoes, and gravy, I decided to fix Brazilian food (with Katy's help because it is a very labor-intensive meal). The gathering was fun, as always, with animated discussions on a wide range of topics. I recently missed pulling one of Anders' teeth because it wasn't quite ready when we were last together, but Tucker's was very loose and it was extracted in a trice. The capstone of the evening was a traditional footrace with the Hastings as they departed.

The Gibbs ladies arrive on Wednesday so things will be lively going forward this week. That, however, is all for now.
