gramps, grams and clams

grandpa brought these in the truck, all the way from Connecticut

My in-laws came for a visit at the end of August. On their first night here, we met at my brother- and sister-in-law's house for a special meal--Grandpa brought clams from Connecticut for the feast. I am very happy to see Grammy and Grandpa pulling up in the truck, but I do not eat these clams: I can't even bring myself to give them a little sniff. The rest of my family enjoyed the clams and melted butter with great gusto.

family fun with clams

As usual, David's parents spent the first half of their trip with his brother's family and the second half here with us. I love it when Grammy and Grandpa are here, we all get to slow down for a few days, work together on the crossword puzzle, catch up on the news, review family history, play cards and relax. It was a great time. Grammy & Grandpa were able to see the kids off for their first day of school, including Oliver's very first brave departure for kindergarten. A shared moment to be treasured and remembered.
