Weekend filled with Family

It is very rare that my mother has all of her kids and grand kids at home at the same time...usually we are always missing someone...but this weekend was the exception to the norm! Nicholas, Sue and Carter came into town Wednesday night so Nicholas could play in Decatur Country Club's Member-Guest Golf Tournament with one of his friends from high school. So, Banks and Mary Reese got some quality time in with their cousin at the pool on Friday and Saturday.

The kids had a very domestic day today. First we went with Aunt Stacey to the Gin House Branch Farm to pick these:

Then Banks got a lesson from Debbie on how to correctly cut the corn off the cob to make creamed corn:

After we were finished with all our domestic duties, we feasted on a good old-fashioned summer veggie meal consisting of creamed corn, green beans and new potatoes, stewed squash, fried okra, slaw, marinated cucumbers and tomatoes, cornbread and homemade peach ice cream! Debbie said we better enjoy it because we probably wouldn't get another one until next summer!
