Meeting the ladies with the seven children

Tonight was one special night. The Malm family, Nana and papa met Melinda Beth, her dad Tom and her seven children.  It was quite a site to see two large families.  Mike and Beth took us all out to dinner.  What a feast.  One for the tummy and one for the eyes.  I loved seeing two large families come together.  How often do we ever get the chance to meet people we only know on the internet.  Melinda is from South Carolina, not too far from Susan and Perry in GooseCreek.  Her dad Tom is accompanying her and the children, as his wife passed away suddenly, recently.  Melinda has made a wonderful trip for them all.  visiting state capitols, National parks, tourist traps and meeting us, strangers for the first time.  I will treasure the time with the two families and their tribes..................Thank you Tom and Melinda...............

Tourist traps? What tourist traps? :)
We had a great time as well. I've come to love your daughter's family from simply reading about them on her blog. I never would've imagined that I would meet them in person. It was so good to get together on Friday. It's too bad that we don't live closer and can get together more often. I'm sure we all would be good friends. But thank goodness for blogging and facebook so we can stay in touch with friends all over the country! XOXO
