Four generations together doing what we do best.....................eating Baskin Robbins ice-cream in Lexington, Kentucky.  On the left, Matthew, me, and Ciff, (Papa).  On the right.  Alexandra, Taelor, Christopher, Carolyn, and John, (Grampy).  Not sure what to have children call me.  Great-Grammy seems like a mouthful.  Also, didn't think to ask Carolyn what she calls herself around the children. 

Christopher thinking about where to attack his ice-cream first.

Alex just minutes before she had it on her forehead and dribbling down her sweater.

It was cold and windy Saturday evening in Lexington.  We met Matthew and Taelor at the Texas Roadhouse for an early meal because the children needed to eat (and I was hungry) but at 4:30 we were told the earliest our large group could all be seated together was 9:00!  Groups of people were packed in watching the Indian vs Kentucky basketball game so to seat eight at the same table, we would have had to wait for the end of the game.  The next closest place was an family-style Italian restaurant and where we could be seated immediately...............at the same table.  It had a great menu selection and the food was wonderful.  I went from hankering for a tender filet to ordering juicy broiled sea scallops with steamed broccoli and a loaded baked potato.  After the meal, we all decided ice-cream should be dessert.
