My dear, 86 year old mother-in-law flew to Texas today to spend a week with us. (She doesn’t look or act 86!) We’ve already made a shopping list of places that she doesn’t have in her little town. She wants to go to Tuesday Morning, Macy’s, Dillards, Super-Target, and Pier One.

We had supper tonight at Black Eyed Pea, one of her favorite restaurants. She also wants to go to Red Lobster as well as a couple of cute tea rooms.

And best of all…our daughter, s-i-l, and BABY J are planning to come this weekend! This will be the first time my m-i-l has gotten to see her great-grandson in person, and he’s nearly 10 months old. We are all excited about this little family reunion…such a blessing to be able to all get together.

Of course, we’ll have to take lots of “four generation” pictures!
