Quiet

After 3 days with a house full of people we are adjusting to quiet once again. Jeff informed everyone last night that they were leaving at 9:00 A.M. and they got on the road home right on time. He told them the "bus" was leaving and he would leave without them if they weren't ready--I rather expect that was a bluff but the whole crew managed to be ready. We did snap a few pix before they got on the road. We would have liked to have had all of the kids and grandkids here but were happy to have 3 of our 4 children and 7 of our 10 grandchildren here.



In the photo on the left is, from left to right, Darryl, Anna and Mark. In the picture on the right is, left to right in the back row Beth, Naomi (being held by Beth), Jessica, Cory, Malchiah (held by Cory). In the front row is Montana (Tana) and Ramiah.

Brunch

We have just finished our brunch, cleaned up the kitchen and are now relaxing. Everyone was in agreement that we had quite a feast. Darryl made a huge platter of pancakes. I cooked up the venison backstrap we took from a young doe we dressed out last Sunday evening. There were approximately 50 small, thin pieces of meat and not a one was left over. I also fried approximately a couple dozen eggs, Connie made 2 and 1/2 dozen blueberry muffins and Danny made a large fruit salad. Darryl whipped some cream to put on the fruit salad or on the pancakes. Danny contributed homemade maple syrup. Those that wanted it had fresh milk to drink. There were only 6 or 7 muffins and approximately a like number of pancakes left. If we have room we will be enjoying another feast later this afternoon. Both Darryl and Connie are cooking nice venison roasts. Of course there is potatoes and sweet potatoes to go with them. I'm not sure just what all else we will have but I don't believe anyone will go away from the table hungry.
