Deputy In-Laws

I love my mother and father-in-law. How many of you can say that? It’s not anything showy that they do. They are pretty quiet people that live in a touristy Bavarian village on the other side of the mountains from us. Where the sun shines. Even when it’s 22 degrees outside.

I love to visit them for long weekends or the week. There is nothing that *has* to be done. Like I said, it’s a toursity town, http://www.leavenworth.org/ . Check it out. So, when my family goes there we love to play outside in the mountains, pick apples, cook, read, fly kites, and play a lot of card games.
Thursday my in-laws, Russell and Penny, came to our house. Penny wanted to hit the quilt show at the local fair grounds. Even though we didn’t do anything big and exciting, in fact we watched a lot of the Olympics, ate, and talked, we had a lot of fun. It actually revitalized me. I love our chats. And my kids love it when they can ‘host’ visitors. Especially when it grandma and bampa.
Anyway, I wanted a blog entry that wasn’t deep or heavy. Just a post of appreciation for friendship and support. Thanks guys!
