~~ HELLO ~~: APRIL SHOWERS BRING FORTH MAY FLOWERS

April sails by through stormy nights and windy days bringing forth sweet May flowers.

First of May...yes, that is Labor Day...passes like a breeze

How we celebrate this laborious day?

It is nothing eventful but meaningful. We got an unexpected call in the evening for an invitation to dinner with our usual Saturday group.

This group consist of three families. They are my husband's sister and their spouse.

We has been having this Saturday gathering for the past 8 years or so.

The initial gatherings has more children joining us but as times goes by, the young ones has grown up and of course, they have their own life to lead. They are either married or moving further away from home due to work commitment.

The only young adult that is joining us now is my daughter, Karmun. But occasionally, we do have some of her cousin.

This gathering was first initiated by my husband.

Being a devoted person to his family, he reasons that as age is catching up, we should spend more time with those that we love.

So that is the beginning of our gathering.

Throughout all these years, we have some eventful and memorable togetherness.

Eventful, yes...during those days when everybody is still energetic and younger, Saturday dinner can be adventurous. We will be trying different restaurant every week and on public holidays, it can be as crazy as driving more that 100km just to hunt for interest eating place.

Memorable..mmm, there are hilarious and bitter ones.

But of course, the good ones will always remains and the bitter ones will be forgiven and forgotten as forgiveness is the highest, most beautiful form of love. In return, you will receive untold peace and happiness.

Now our routine Saturday has mellow down a lot as the oldest in the group is 70 plus and of course the youngest is my family....hubby being 50 years, me at 49 years and Karmun only 11 years old.
