an en Famille Friday night dinner

(Here is the continuation of "The Wedding Dress" post. Enjoy!)

So the dress was bought and I asked Jenna and Mitch to meet up with us for dinner.
We then of course told  Benji, our nephew, to meet us too, and happily he was available as well. Looking for company and food. (what 18 year old isn't)

Our 4 boys are all in town together at the moment, the joy overwhelming. Our oldest Scott had his friend Katherine with him. (adore this girl, and promised her mom, I would be there for anything she might need-extra great feeling she was there as well).

Life was simple and beautiful sitting under the steamy, starry So Florida night, tropical breezes making it so comfortable. We were having at least 5 conversations at once, I looked around at this table of loved ones and felt like the matriarch of this crew,  surrogate to some, fill in for others.  It felt like I was the lucky one. It made growing older seem something so beautiful instead of fraught with concern.

It hit me growing old with grace is something so powerful. Xo ginny
