Warm Welcome

We had the most delightful surprise tonight! Some of Jason's extended family asked earlier in the week if they could stop by after church to see all that had been done to Memom and Grandad's house. Of course we said yes, and we expected to see one car with three people pull into our driveway. Instead, two cars and twelve people pulled up! Barbara (Jason's dad's cousin) had coordinated other family members and our neighbors to come over for a good old-fashioned pounding.

Yup, they supplied us with all sorts of things...fresh eggs, recipes, and various and sundry things with which to stock our cupboard. Such a sweet gesture. I love country living.
