Visitors from afar and other spring tidbits

Clay, Courtney, Adam, Sharon (see the new do), Michael & Ashley!
Yuck!  Ear wax!
Two of Sharon and Clay's gkids came to visit.  They are Drais and Kitty's.  It was good to see the four gkids (now adults) interact with the gparents.  They stayed the first night at the Inn and the second night camping out in tents at the lake.  There was much talk of hockey, what're you doing this summer and the "do you remembers".  The two siblings hadn't seen one another for awhile.  Sharon was having trouble with her ears so Ken went and got candles - but they weren't like last year's.  Michael wanted to see it done so we did it early.  Michael's folks started Mimosa Sundays and he decided to carry the tradition to New Mexico.  We loved it!!

Who's under the blanket??? Sharon of course!


Debbie finished Jo's (her MIL) afghan.
Sue and Skip are here from Montana.  Here Sue is showing Sharon their two person bar-b-que.  It even has a drag line on it in case they have to hook it up to a D9!!
Notice the Italian Hem Stitch at the bottom?? Good job!
Fried pig snout. (Trompa!)

They not only us all the squeal it looks like they also use the Moo also.  Notice the "grass fed quality" at the mouth.  No that's not a horn - that's an tonque.

Pigs feet anyone??

Whoops! These tongues lost their heads. and $4.09 a POUND?????

And then there is the beef feet - skin on for $1.79 a pound.  Yum!

Sorry to the Chinn Grandchildren - we'll have to send a pigs head next fall.  :)
