Dinner at Lansberry’s (Gabrielle)
July 20, 2006 by Gabrielle
 Tonight we ate dinner at the Lansberry’s fine abode. We ate Mutton’s Mush, salad and carrots and dip. At family worship we sang some hymns and I sang and listened and it made me glad. Jon, James and I heckled as Seth explained how to make a blog template to Raquel. Jon and Theresa wandered outside and looked at the garden and Raquel and I agreed on what picture we would want for our blog. Jeremy explained the difference in his mind between acceptable purple and cheesy purple. Kathey agreed to make salsa for Game Night tomorrow and Elsie lost a lens to her glasses. James plotted his next move in a new Diplomacy game and Noah wandered looking adorable. I looked around the table and felt very happy and very tired. I makes me feel a little bit better to think that the reason we are going through all this work and hassle is these friends and this family we have made ourselves into. It makes me feel a lot better especially when I feel so tired. Nine days left and counting!
We also spent some time reminiscing about your mom and her flairs and her love for people.
Oh, and you kept your role as the “expaliner of inside jokes” so Jon is up to speed on the creamy mashed potatoes.
what exactly did James come up with for his diplomacy move?
I don’t know. I pointed out to him that Germany was sitting in the room and for some odd reason he stopped talking. He and Seth went into a different room to talk about it.
