ok, so we love parties. a few weeks ago, rye's family had a massive family reunion. 2 of dad likkels brothers came from out of town with their kids & grandkids. since we were off camping that weekend we missed most of the festivities but were honored that we were asked to have the Saturday part of the reunion here. the day was filled with crafts and games for the kids, much coffee drinking, a healthy amount of socializing, an abundance of laughter. uncle stan & aunt lois even put together a grand game of lawn-golf. a true redneck game. (redneck in a good way! :)) the great news was that i had to do nothing but get our yard in order. i didn't have to cook...IT WAS CATERED!! :) i think the total count of folks that showed up was 114!! it was a blast! God has lavished His goodness on this family. from generation to generation He has cared and protected them. had dad been here, i'm sure he would have been proud. we sure do miss him.
i snuck upstairs and snapped a few shots. i'll see if i can track down a few more pictures from others. a good looking bunch i tell ya.
yup, parties, i love them.
