This past weekend, Jim and I had the McIntyre family at our house. We had a great time visiting with everybody. Uncle and Aunt Jim and Betty from Indiana, Uncle and Aunt Dan and June from Missouri, Jim's parents Wilson and Norma from IL, Jim's sister's little girl Rachael, and on Saturday Jim's sister-in-law and niece Tracy and Madalyn joined us and spent the night. We all had a great time and lots of food, swimming, and fun. Saturday, we went to Rockhome Gardens and then to the old Burger King in Mattoon for somewhat of a late lunch and ice cream. Sunday morning, we all met at Steak n' Shake in Mattoon for breakfast and then said our good-byes until probably October when we will all meet in southern Illinois at St. Francisville for the Chestnut Festival and parade. Thank you everybody for the great time!!
What more fun than the above is there to do on a Saturday afternoon in central Illinois?

Food, food, and more food...
Tracy took over grilling when she noticed that Jim was leaving it unattended... I wonder if that was so he didn't have to eat last this meal???!!!2 Comments:
