They had us for dinner tonight, and after a lovely meal, we played cards! They taught us how to play 'Penuchle' and while Mary and I fought valiantly to win, Jim and James beat us fairly. (I would like to comment however that James is a mathematician and so (I feel) had an edge on us.) We will have a rematch!
Mary and I have also played Boggle, much to my delight. This is one of my favorite games~and she is very kind to play with me when she is such a pro!
While the adults played, our children had fun playing hide-and-seek. Libby (13) very sweetly took pictures of the event so I could play our game. Their daughter Rachel is a very direct answer to prayer for our Julia. They have connected very well, and really enjoy spending time together as friends.
A good time was had by all
Off for home to call Pappa King for his birthday!

Yeah for new friends!! You all look wonderful; and wonderfully happy! I didn't recognize Jim at first sitting beside you at the card game, Lisa...I thought it was the "new friend"! I think it makes him look very studious. :) Hope the chapter is going well, Jim. You are NOT missing anything in the way of weather, as I'm sure Pappa King has told you! BRrrrrr!

I didn't get any of the linen closet shots. How funny!
And, I posted a new entry today since I'm far behind in my posts. But now, I have to finish this teacher's manual entry so I can be free for the evening to eat pizza, drink soda, and watch videos!
Thanks for a super evening. We will eventually reign supreme in pinochle. But, It might take a bit. James is a real card shark. Hee hee.
