Last Friday (the 19th of July) we had my wife's nephew, his wife and their daughter over for dinner and games.
The night went well. I made dinner, and they appeared to like the asparagus and the
bacon chicken meal I made. We played a new (to me) version of Catan afterward (Traders and Barbarians- we choose the "fisherman of Catan" variation).
The last time I was with them, we talked about his wife's family- her parents and siblings have some issues... this time I was able to share with them what my family was/is like.
