Dribble & Drool--July 20

Good morning Gather friends! 
I know you must be wondering where I have been.  Well, it is kind of a long story, but I will give you a brief version as I don't have a lot of time before I am descended upon by 10 hungry children, 4 adults and 2 dogs.  That would probably explain my lack of time.  Mike and I have recently acquired the custody of 4 beautiful children, ages 3, 5, 6 and 10.  My daughter is here with her 5 children ages, 9, 8, 4, and twins 2 1/2.  Then of course, we have our daughter Anna and her little boy, 8 1/2 months.  Times have been exciting and sometimes tiring.  All the children seem to be happy and healthy.  Having my 2 daughters here has been a great help during the transition.  She and her husband are thinking about extending their stay a few days, so we will continue to have large meals with lots of fun and cooking. 
Will write more when I have time. 
Blessings to all!
