A housewarming……

Saturday, October 22nd, 2005

I decided to have a housewarming party for my sister and her husband at their new house in Blockhouse. Many friends and family came to help make their house a home! Even though Dad couldn’t comesince he was out on the boat again, mom and both of my sisters got to spend a ton of time together.

It was great to have family and friends so close and secretively I really liked the opportunity to get my relatives all together since our departure date is getting closer and it made it easier to catch up without trying to schedule “visiting hours”.
