Kate’s father’s home movies were a hit again last night.

We had an early dinner last night. That worked out well because it gave us a little extra time before going to bed. We took part of that time to relax in the family room. After an hour, we decided to watch another DVD of her father’s home movies. The portion we watched last night was taken in the mid-to-late 1930s. Although that was before Kate’s birth in 1941, she had known almost all of the people. She was especially excited to see moving pictures of her mother and father. She also enjoyed seeing her grandmother who hosted a big family lunch on Sunday. She had eight children, most whom we married with children at this time, so there was always quite a crowd. We counted over fifteen who are no longer with us. Afterward they adjourned outside to relax and watch the children play. It was fun to see the people she has known as adults playing as children. It was another special way to close the day.
