Family Fun
...and grilled Cheese is yum!
(Please note the construction Ingo came up with, isn´t that just great? All the things you can buy don´t fit to our guardrail and we sure don´t want such a heavy "foot" standing in the way to hold the umbrella!)
Saturday Ingo´s Parents and his Grandma were here (not the one we lived with. She sadly, sadly passed away in 2008).
They wanted to be here from "3-5pm" but then even stayed for a BBQ!
And his Mum loved the Grilled Cheese! His Dad said he can eat it (... ummm.. ;-) Well!) and the Grandma tasted it, too (no comment from her).
It was amazing... Ingo´s Grandma is 94. She is nearly deaf, that´s the problem. Other... no glasses!!!! She can see perfectly! And her mind? In perfect condition! (if she can hear you)
We had fun and his parents want to come here for a bike-tour soon.
Wish my Mum could do that, but... won´t happen. She´s too weak and depressed and we fail to help her. We do all we can. Ask. Please. Go to the Doc. Please...
Anyhows. They liked the apartment (they bought a big part of for us!) and we did have fun. Like really! :-)
Dunno ... don´t have any experience with parents-in-law (last guy grew up without parents, and before that... too young to be serious), but they ain´t that bad, really :-)
No pic, though.
Heck! Ingo and I are together for nearly 17 years. But we lost contact with his family (apart from Grandma I) for so long and I still don´t feel that comphy! I even adressed his Mum (she stated) with the formal "Sie" (did I???)!
So... I didn´t feel "safe" enough to ask for a "family-pic".
But, hey! They all "loved" Grilled Cheese - so much for the Cave-Men, huh?!

Glad it went well. It's a bit scary meeting your other half's family or just trying to get to know them better. Duncan has such a huge family, I'm still meeting relatives of his I haven't met before.
Really, you still meet new people there?! Wow!
It´s just a Brother on Ingo´s side.
I have about 15 cousins, but we never ever meet. And my Mum´s brothers and sisters only very seldom, too, like at my Bro´s wedding... Kinda sad, I think - not said enough, though, to take the trouble organising something... it´s just too many people!
Yes, Duncan has an uncle who had an argument with some other family members and so cut himself off from the family for years. They have only recently started to reconcile so I met him for the first time a month ago.
That´s good! Time is too precious to me mad over such a long time. Bro stopped contact for a year due to an argument once, so sad...
