It Finally Happened!

My folks came over for the weekend. It's been quite a while since they've seen Gary. I knew it would be a long day for them and us, so I put a meal in the crockpot first thing this morning. Hungrily and hurridly, we sat at the table, my two dogs plus moms little one all scurrying around it trying to find the best place to beg. Finally, everyone sits, prayers said, we dig in. Chatting away mom finds her eyes bigger than her stomach and she is getting full.

"I can't eat the rest of this." She said.

"You don't have to finish it. Just eat your veggies!" I said. When I realized what I had just said, I started to laugh, we all did. Mom grinned. "Do you know how long I've waited to tell you that? Eat your veggies!"

You never know when opportunity arrises. :-)
