Girls' Night!

Hurrah!

Another Girls' Night

A Chick Chat with some of Grandma Ison's posterity

The Wilson Girl cousins came up from Utah

Some stayed at Grandma's home

They made sure she got some dinner

as they waited for local girls to arrive

Lexie and Tyrel made a quickie, early appearance and got to meet some Utah cousins

Shegay is checking in with Grandma

The love these granddaughters show their grandma touches my heart

Jana, Shegay, Kevin (honorary chick, special invite!)

plus Grandma, back for another snack

I see Grandpa, looking on, from the wall

At one point in the evening, Grandma said to me, "Daddy's gone."

Yes he is, I replied.  What do you think he is doing right now?

"I have NO idea," she exclaimed.

Do you think he is watching us right now? I asked

"Too busy,"  she replied

That could be . . . because we never heard him fuss at us to get to bed!

And we were up til @2 am

I've missed getting the "chocolate toast" pictures downloaded

But you can be sure we toasted the rest of you....and we missed you!

Oh..there they are...the next two pics below

Some granddaughters helped prompt grandma's memory

by bringing pictures and notes on their family

She loved pouring over those sheets

Candice      Liz

We went around the circle of beautiful spirits

hearing a catch-up summary of whats been happening in each life

New pregnancy announcement, husband graduating, expanding insurance sales, brainstorming business ideas, busy mommas with their chicklets

Annette        Rachel

Such variety of interests, talents, strengths, contributions, challenges

All bringing their love to Grandma

Crazy busy printing campaign materials, art classes and interest in illustrating children's books

Megan

She was the springboard for the gathering:

With an exciting and wide eyed new move to North Carolina

she wanted to come see Grandma before the adventure

Well, if you are coming up......let's all gather!

To have ALL her sisters join and gather......

Oh my, it seems like a miracle to me

And I loved it!

And so did their Grandma

"I didn't know you were coming!" she exclaimed again and again

So pleased, she was
