Finally, as we were getting back to our food the phone rang again. Lance saw it was the same number but before he could answer, Fred grabbed the phone from him and we witnessed what probably no one on earth has ever seen before. With a high pitched, rather effeminate voice, Fred answered the phone -
"Helloooo?"
"Lancey? Who do you want to talk to? Lancey? I don't know if Lancey is here! Just one moment!"
"Lancey! Ohhhhh Lanceyyyyyy! Are you here Lanceyyyyy!"
I about spit grape juice all over the table. Jack, Maureen and Lance almost choked on their food as they tried to keep from bursting out laughing.
"I'm sorrrryyyyy! Lanceyyyy isn't answering! I don't think Lanceyyyy is home! Can I take a message?"
"Ohhhh, WOW!!! He won a 3rd place prize for hair removal?!?! He'll be SO SURPRISED!!! He'll be SOOOOO SURPRISED!!! Ohhhhhh! That's SOOOO wonderful!!!! Yes! Yes! I'll be sure to tell Lanceyyyy that he won! I'll be sure to have him call you back!!! Lanceyyyy will be SOOOOO happy!"
I think we'll never think of Fred the same ever again! So much for a nice, relaxing meal.
A few minutes later the phone rang again - this time it was safe - it was just Jane. She was in the city with four of her daughters-in-law for dinner. I invited them all over for ice cream, and to see our flower garden. We always like to have family over, even if we have to bribe them with ice-cream. It's also a great way to get more pictures for posterity and our blog!
My happy in-laws.
As far as in-laws go, I think they are all keepers.

Oh my gosh! I am laughing so hard...I totally would never believe that Fred would do this!!! What a riot! Wish I had been there. Sarah's picture is classic-I think our crazy family is overwhelming to anywho who has just joined! :)
Just Jane says: I am STILL laughing out loud and hollering for Scott to come see this about Fred ....but alas, he is snoring. (He's on drugs.)
And how do you think of those cute captions for my cute daughters- in- love? And thanks for inviting us over for the ice cream that turned into banana splits! You and Lance are the BEST! And Maureen and Jack are TOPS! love, Just Jane
ps If I ever own a shop...like a clothes shop or a bakery....I will name it Just Jane's.
