Random reunion pic's

I decided to post some pictures of this years family reunion.
We have more than 200 pictures and I had a hard time just picking a few.
Here's my decision.

Work Bee

Grandma decided that the kids behave much better when they are busy so thought it would be fun to put them to work. They all got busy cleaning and when they were done the house looked much better and they all enjoyed working together.
Now she thinks she is Tom Sawyer!

OH OH!!!!!

My Bride fell and damaged her wrist again! Same one she broke 10 years ago.
The cast has been on for 2 days and is already itchy. I think thinking about it makes it worse.

SMOKE

I made a mistake last night and went to sleep with the bedroom window open. I must have thought we would get enough of a storm to clear the smoke out. It didn't happen.

Unfortunately by 1:00 a. m. I had eaten enough smoke to make me quite sick.

Not much sleep and just as much smoke as ever this morning.
Hope it clears soon.

Entertaining kids

All it took to entertain the kids on the past weekend was some cousins, a pond, a creek, some unsuspecting frogs, sunshine and lots of fresh air.

It's sad that more kids in the world are not able to experience what our family has.

It occurred to me as I was sorting through the pictures of the Reunion weekend that we had an extraordinary number of children at it this year. I don't recall seeing a single D S or other electronic or computerized toy.

There wasn't anyone that attended who didn't have a good time.

We have a wonderfull family for which I am eternally gratefull.

Happy Birthday

Mom has turned 90 and doesn't look a day over 70.
She seemed to enjoy having her Brothers come to the Family Reunion this year to help her celebrate.

All 8 of my siblings managed to get home as well.

With the offspring that managed to get here from near and far we had a total of 106 at the celebration and reunion.

Getting ready for company

Time for family reunion and the grass is cut, the horseshoe pits are dug out, everything is as neat and tidy as it's going to get. The sun will shine for the weekend and the people will come. Life is good.
