It's been awhile since I've posted anything, so I'll let you in on what we did for Memorial Day weekend!
We have some friends that live on a pond and have an estate called Pemberly...yes, Pride and Prejudice, ;). They are around grandparent age for our children and they married later in life and were not able to have any children, so they LOVE to have young kids around! Arlene and I serve with the Young Women together and both love to quilt, so we have a lot of fun together. Her husband Darryl is in the Young Men's presidency with James...a great couple.
They invited us over for a barbeque and to see their thousands of roses (literally) in their gardens and have a little boat ride on their pond. What a great day! Rachel came away with the nickname "My Sweet Little Chick" and Seth got to be the rose cutter. They sent us home with some of the most beautiful roses I've ever seen or smelled. (They all have such different scents!) Eliza proved herself the bravest on the boat and no one fell in!
For a hot, humid day we enjoyed being outside and seeing some of the beautiful Virginia countryside!

sounds like fun...I have always wanted to go to Pemberly!
Did Eliza pick up a new nickname too? Ms. Eliza "Bennett"...Sounds like a good time. I've heard that Pemberly is quite an estate. Mr. Darcy apparently brings in $5000 pounds a year.
