A Great Way To Start The Day!

We had a nice surprise this morning. My brother-in-law stopped by with 4 of his grandsons. They drove all night from Oklahoma and decided to make a "pit stop" at our house. The boys promptly got on the trampoline and Ed sat down on the love seat. Pretty soon he asked if I still had a bed in the extra bedroom--of course the answer was yes--so he decided to take a little nap. While Grandpa Ed slept, I asked the boys if they were hungry (they're 7-11), and the answer was "YES" (even tho they had had Pop Tarts in the truck). So I fixed scrambled eggs, french toast, and biscuits & gravy. They ate pretty good. Then Grandpa Ed got his second wind and they headed to his parents house. Oh, and before they left they "picked" potatoes and onions from our garden. He was planning on stopping in town to buy potatoes and onions, but the boys enjoyed getting their own from the garden. We showed them green beans, tomatoes, and cucumbers also (but they're not ready yet). Hopefully before they go home we will have some more produce for them to see. They also picked a few ripe blackberries, which they all thought they were picking for me. I ended up eating my share and they all tried them. They were pretty tart, but delicious. Maybe I'll talk Chely into making a blackberry cobbler for next Saturday when everyone will be back at our house for a nice BBQ and visit!! I would gladly pick the berries, if she will do the work of the cobbler!
