Reunion time

The start of the reunion has begun, now is the time to hide your children and anything that can be eaten. With all the food we have we could open a kitchen and feed an army. The weather is staying nice and warm, shit it's hot. I'll be back later when more people show up. We have Tom and Stella, Bob and Helena, Tyler, Arlene, George, Kathy and Alie.
I really haven't been keeping tract who has been and gone but I do know there are a lot of people in and around the house. I hope every one had a great time. There was swimming in the pool, horse shoes, bocce ball, badminton and watching all the children playing. We had to much food, so we sent some of what was left over to the meal barrel for those less fortunate than us. If I could remember all the names I would list them, but I'm afraid I would forget someone so I won't, for now. If I
learn how to upload pictures I'll add them later. For now everything went great.

Reunion time approaches

Here we are in July warm and sunny, that's right I said warm. We haven't had to many hot days yet. I'm guessing the heat will hit us on the weekend of the family reunion. That would be great then everyone can swim and enjoy the summer the way it was intended. Cooking on the grill this year will be a pleasure. I tried out our new grill and it's easy to cook and it's easy to clean, to me that is all that matters. That way I can enjoy the company, even if they are relatives. I was going to plan the games, but I think it would be better if we just enjoyed each other and let the games happen naturally. I think there will be more children than adults. Maybe someone will have another family reunion next year, I'm not opposed to traveling and staying in a motel. We do have more relatives that can't or won't come and for that I am sad, I think it's important to stay in touch with your family and tell all the children stories about when we were young and growing up.
I will be taking a lot of pictures and posting them on Facebook as soon as I can.
Can you tell I'm excited about this reunion stuff. Hope everyone has a good time.
