The Burgess Family: November 2013

http://burgess5.blogspot.com/2013_11_01_archive.html

November 2013 Birthday Weekend Fun. On a warm late fall day, Lizzie helped Grampy paint new tree signs. Dan helped, too. And Kate, too. Lizzie helped fill the window boxes. We had brought in the geraniums earlier to keep them from the cold, and they immediately bloomed like crazy! Birthday supper was lobsters, which Martin and Maeve dragged into the dining room with great excitement! Griffy wonders why he is banned to the entryway. He really does not understand. Uncle Dan helps with the supper clean up.

The Burgess Family: August 2013

http://burgess5.blogspot.com/2013_08_01_archive.html

We enjoyed a wonderful visit with Irene. Here John and Irene play scrabble. (guess who won? Not telling, but it wasn't John. Lizzie, aka Cinderella, asked Great Aunt Irene to sit on her lap. And then Cinderella had to go on lunch break. Aunt Irene got a 'taste' of family night supper. Not a quiet relaxing meal, but the food was good .and local. The G-kids all wanted to sit as closely together as possible. And buttering the corn was the biggest and most important and challenging and delicious work of all.
