Family Reunion


Yesterday we spent the afternoon hanging out in my cousins' backyard. A few months ago we crossed paths, and Sandi said, "We should have a family reunion." So we did. We ate (sausages, salads, chips and pies), and talked (farming, family, kids and grandkids, camping, fishing, church and school) and played lawn games under the fir trees. Traci showed off Logan. Everyone asked me how teaching is going; which is not an easy question to answer during summer vacation. We sat with Aunt Vi and talked about Grams, who has been gone almost a decade now. And about the family members who couldn't make it: Aunt Charlotte wasn't feeling well, and Ashley was off registering for college. The kids bobbed for green apples - unripe, not Granny Smiths. Cows and the cat wandered by several times. It was a really great day.
