Dinner at Jim & Auntsie's

Last night the boys and I were treated to an excellent meal at my Uncle Jim and Aunt Nancy's house. Griffin has taken to calling Aunt Nancy by the name "Auntsie". I'm not sure if he misunderstands what her name is or if he is trying to be efficient.

After not having any of Lisa's meals since she left for France over a week ago, I truly appreciated the kind offer of a real meal. It took me a while to adjust to adult conversation. lol I resisted the impulse to ask Jim and Nancy if they needed a potty break at least.

We had a traditional ham and mashed potatoes meal. The ham gravy is from a recipe my 85 year old grandmother developed. As far as I can tell it's very similar to regular ham gravy except you add several handfuls of sugar! My family loves the sweetness of it. I could eat it all day long. Those that have married in to our family are not generally as fond of it. They probably have more sophisticated taste. ;)

The boys enjoyed P B & J sandwiches followed by ice cream. Two servings each. The adults had a berry pie hot from the oven with vanilla ice cream on the side. :D
