Our home seemed so empty yesterday after a week of being “full.” (Our house was so full, in fact, that my wife and I spent several nights in Odysseus [RV] out in the driveway.) I didn’t pick up the Lego pieces scattered about with little “stick em” labels attached to them, knowing that Ethan and Eleni were working on something when they left on Tuesday and would want to continue their project when they return today. The new Joy couple (Katie and Liam) and Liam’s family from the UK will join us today for lunch and an afternoon visit—a full house again.
A “full house” can be a poker hand containing three of a kind and a pair, or it can be what I’m thinking about—a house filled with family and friends. I like a “full house!” I like it especially when it includes our youngest “pair” of grandchildren, Ethan and Eleni. We see them at least twice a year at their home in Arizona, but that isn’t quite the same as having them visit us here at our home. A “full house” is a “winning hand!”
