Shawn made the brownies for me last night. ~ Gene and Martha got here before I got a chance to make them, so while Shawn and I were on the doorstep, too far away for Gene and Martha to hear, I put my arms around his neck and asked if he could make the brownies for me. So sweet --- he put his arms around my neck, and said, "I think I can do that." They were perfect.
I asked Tyler to get the dishes for me early, and he didn't fuss at all but got right to it. Shawn didn't fuss either, when I asked him to help me rearrange the living room and put things back in the lazy Susan, etc.
So all was relatively calm, or more to the point, I wasn't stressed out at all.
The living room filled up, and a couple of the kids remarked there were more people here than we have at Second Sunday Supper. Beverly and Beth laughed together. Chris drove over from Fairhope. John and Kim and Noah came, and Noah and Tyler were glad to see each other. Beth and Rodney came and brought Gene some lima beans. Morgan and Brandon skipped supper and came straight to visit after their 5:30 appointment. JA's work left him alone for a minute. Lots of laughter and easy talk.
I finished the garden stakes and plan, so that's done.
Kim said that she has told them she's going to be out of town on these days, re: our trip to DC, so I'm excited now --- feels like a definite.
