The best part of being home is catching up with old family friends, especially when there's been so much change since I last saw them. Today I spent time with the Shumates and Handlins. They prepared a fabulous authentic Italian lunch for us and we spent the afternoon catching up. It was a wonderful way to pass the day.

A big hug for my sweet goddaughter.
So who's 'authentic Italian' is better? Grandpa's or the Handlins??? No pressure ;o)
