02.24.2012: Lunch with the Riedmans

On Friday, Vince, Alisa, Avery and I had lunch with Ray, Lois and their son Billy and his wife Doreen.  Billy was here visiting his parents for the week from Montana.  I hadn't seen him for probably in at least 20 years, if not more.  They had been out in AZ since Monday, but today was the first day they had some free time!  They were definitely enjoying the warm weather and swimming in the middle of Feb!  Also sitting out on the patio of Macayos overlooking the lake.  They did not have the same weather back in Montana this time of year.  It was actually quite warm for us for Feb, but we were not complaining (yet).

It was great though hearing all their stories!  I love meeting relatives that I know but just haven't seen in a loooong time!  I wished Mom could have been there too, since she hasn't seen Billy in forever either.  And none of us had met his wife before, so that was nice to finally meet her!  And she was from CA, so we chatted a lot about how things have changed since she left (and how different Montana is from SoCal)   Next trip Mom will have to make sure she gets out here ....as they said they are coming back next year too!

Oh, and a Lois update....she looked amazing!  Even though it had only been a week or so, she looked pretty healed.  Although not healed enough for us to not get harrassed by Billy for beating up his mom :)

Alisa & Avery had to leave early to go pick up the other 2 kiddos so they missed out on the picture together.
