After dinner with Shawnda and Janet, we drove north into Michigan to the Negri Home in Lake Whitmore. What a beautiful spot they found. Their two-story house sits on a huge cul-de-sac lot surrounded by mature trees, grass, flowers and the perfect hill for snow sledding. We were greeted by the entire family: Mandy (my niece) and Jason, Daniel, Sarah, Elizabeth and Genna. Aunt Jennifer was out watering the flowers when we pulled up.
It was Elizabeth's 11th birthday and we found a Rummy-O game (at Jack and Wendy's suggestion). I think Mandy and Jennifer were as excited as Elizabeth. They remembered playing the game at Grandma Browner's in Heber and knew the family would enjoy it when they meet Jack and Wendy in Michiana in a few weeks.
They showed us their garden, built up boxes where they are growing strawberries, flowers and vegetables. All the kids had their own plots. Elizabeth got out her Scotty dog tea set to serve with the muffins they made. We were so busy chatting and catching up that we forgot to take photos!
