I had a lovely weekend meeting these cousins from England. Heather is my mom's cousin, and she brought her funny husband, Graham. We had Taco soup for lunch prepared by mom yesterday, and I carefully made an apple pear crisp from the Barefoot Contessa television show as Heather has a gluten allergy. I made this crisp with almond flour, and did not realize that oatmeal has gluten proteins in it. She couldn't eat it, and I felt like an idiot for not researching better. She was an absolute sport. We had a full house, as Mom and Dad brought their dog, we had my two, and my brother's. We also had another cousin who lives only half an hour away.
Today, we went to see Grams for Grandparents Day at her memory care facility. The staff there put on an ice cream social. They even had set up a topping bar off to one side. Oh, so fancy! We had a lovely visit. It was sad that Grams kept telling Heather how nice it was to meet her. She usually knows who her British relatives are. My sister in laws family is visiting today, and they brought their two dogs. So, that's five dogs each day here. God bless my sister in law, she wasn't a pet person until a few years ago, and as a farm type girl, she's not used to animals in the house.
This house is so full of love! I'm happy to have landed here.
