Mom with one of her gorgeous displays:
Goof-ball James with the same gorgeous display:
All the ladies, enjoying a kid-free night (well, all except Mom):
Right about this time in the evening, after looking at some old pictures, Karin said to Katie, something like, "Kate, I have to say you've aged very well, unlike the rest of us."!!!! And I was standing right there! Major Slam #1 of the evening.
During dinner, the topics of conversation included: water piks, who in our family most closely resembles which of the Bravermans, how Dan and James almost invented Facebook, how long one should brush their teeth, if Dan is really like Riggins on Friday Night Lights, how it is that 90-year-old Mor-Mor is the most technologically advanced of us, the rapid turn-around of Business Week magazine, and the praying patterns of the toddler grandchildren.
And we just kept laughing and laughing and laughing!
At the end of the night, James proclaimed it "the second most fun adult family gathering" we've had. Then he went on to specify that the first most fun evening was an occasion for which I was not even there! Major Slam #2 of the evening*!!! What is it with those Dreschers?
*Considering the fact that I was on Day 5 of my sleep-deprived stint while Pete is travelling, there is a slight chance I was being oversensitive. But I don't think so.
MY personal opinion is that you've aged oh so beautifully, Amy! So there!
ReplyDeleteAw, thanks Jennifer!!
ReplyDeleteAmy, had you been able to attend the "1st most fun adult gathering we've had" it would have only been better. Beyond that, if you had not been at the "2nd most fun adult gathering we've had" then it may not have been able to make it on the charts. And for the record, Dan and I DID invent facebook but Zuckerburger stole it from us.
ReplyDeleteThat is some smooth talking there, J, smooth indeed.
