sunday party in the country

Brother B brought twins squared and Sis C brought her 2, plus tutu (huh, I guess that looks like 6) out to visit with us (Sister A and yrs. truly) and to seek an audience with the Wizard, er, mom. Everyone is overly solicitous at the moment, but I'm sure we'll get over it and be back to our normal loud opinionated selves in no time. Mom enjoyed the mini-twins waving at her from the beach, and visiting with sundry family members between naps.

Auntie Gay did get to conduct a mini-clinic with up-and-coming volleyball stars, nephew D, and nieces A, D, and E. After various drills had been completed, ono-licious food gobbled up, and news shared, there was a communist-style self criticism session. My favorite kind. I got to listen to pretty astute assessments of skill, niece E wanted to skip the positive parts and go right to the critique. I think we have some future setters in the hale.

Beautiful day, makai and mauka, plus family matters. As mom said a couple of days ago, "Not a bad sick room, eh."
