It has been a wonderful day. The weather was warm. The new refrigerator was delivered. Abigail shot a deer. We sat around the fire pit pretending to watch the imaginary fire and ate our lunch. David and Andrew did chores around the ranch such as feeding treats to the cattle and fixing the deer feeders. Allison and I fed the fish. Allen, the septic man, met with us and we once again selected the site for the bunk house, probably for the last time.
Tonight, Robbie and Joyce came for dinner with all of us and we ate on the screen porch. Getting it organized was easy because all four girls helped. Samantha set the table, Allison made the salad, Sarah set out all the food in the dining room and Abigail helped Ken cut up the chicken while David cut up the ribs and sausage. It was a combined effort.
The biggest effort was not known to anyone except me, but Suzanne and Sarah cleaned up one years dust from the tables and chairs on the screened porch. We could not have used the space without their hard work and for that I am grateful. All 11 of us could sit down together, dining in the lovely evening air, enjoying the food and being together. It was a big day for me.
