My mom's first gathering at her home....

This past weekend we enjoyed time with some friends from our congregation.  We wanted to have a barbeque and since my mom has the largest and most perfect yard for a gathering.....She hosted it at her house!!!!  There were approx. 21 friends who came and there was plenty of food and goodies!  Everybody seemed to have had a great time.  Most of the friends stayed til long after dark as we played a mind boggling game that was introduced to us by my Uncle Tony many many years ago.




Richard Torres was in his element right behind the barbeque.  And boy was it great!  Ribs, chicken, tri-tip, and swordfish.  And also grilled vegetables. Yummmmy!!!! Richard is the one in the apron and his son is watching on while he cook's.  There's Sharon, Richards wife walking toward them on the left.






Mom actually sat a took a break to enjoy the wonderful food prepared by everyone.

Victor Besancon and one of the Luna boys are in deep conversation while they enjoy their meal.




Chad and Pam are enjoying their meal while visiting.



This is my friend Pam's daughter Emma. Kim loves to tease her and call her Gemma.


My new friend Sarah is visiting from the French congregation.  She is here for her circuit assembly.  She now has a new game to play with the french speaking friends that will drive them crazy!


Here is Dave Camacho and Bro. Wiems relaxing and having a great time.  It's always good to get together with our friends.  We live in such stressful times so I think that we need to do this more often and really get to know one another better.  I really enjoyed the time we had to spend with just a hand full of our friends and I look forward to doing this again real soon.
