A pleasant Sunday gathering

It was a small group today, which meant I got to spend some time reading with the twins.  Last time they were here Max dug a large hole in the backyard where he was "looking for dragon bones."  They haven't arrived yet, so today Doug planted some exotic coins for him to find; Sam got in on the act and was the first to find one, disappointing Max.  Later, when Manda was outside with the boys, Andrew and Doug had an enjoyable conversation with no twin interruptions.  That's Sam sitting on Manda's lap and Max, stalling having to go home, sitting on the rocking horse with his cowboy hat on.  All in all a lovely visit.

Tomorrow I'll go in and have the sutures removed from my left hand.  And perhaps talk about when to do the same surgery on two fingers of my right hand.
