End of the work week, just a relaxing evening.
Saturday:
Poor Dwayne had to work again. He's getting worn out from this overtime.
I went to my good friend, Pat Allen's (Mark and Amanda) baby shower. She is getting
a granddaughter. I couldn't be happier for her. She has two sons, three grandsons and now
her wish for many years to have a little girl in her life. Mark and Amanda are due in January.
They are naming the baby after their grandmothers. Barella Jean. Mable's name was Barella Mable and Amanda's grandma's name was Jean. Mable would be so happy as most people thought her name was strange. With some of the names they come up with anymore, Barella sounds pretty good.
Dwayne and I went to Sput's to eat supper and visit with friends. We went home early as Dwayne was very tired.
Sunday:
Another day of making molasses. Mom and Dad supplied pizzas for lunch and it was a hit with the workers. We had desserts and side dishes, but overall an easy day on food preparation.
Some friend's of Mom and Dad's from when they were all dating came over and spent the day. They had so much fun reminiscing and visiting.
Dad may be almost 90, but he can still make molasses!!

Even darkness doesn't get in the way of taking off a pan of molasses.
Dad still has cane left. The guys plan on making it on Thanksgiving as there will be a group there.
I am so grateful for these special memories. Priceless!
