The 50th Celebration

Our family returned last night from a trip to Oklahoma to celebrate my Sister and Brother-in-law's 50th Anniversary. It was a very busy weekend. My sister has been working on this weekend for at least a year and a half. Friday night was a cookout at their house as relatives from all over the United States started trickling in. Saturday was a reunion for my Brother-in-laws family (8 boys, no girls). Sunday was church, where I think we came close to doubling the size of their worship attendees, and in the afternoon the actual 50th Celebration. We took our pop-up camper and shared it with our two daughters, son-in-law and 3 granddaughters. The camper was perfect for sleeping but a bit to crowded for anything else. The weather was HOT -- near or above 100 every day. Thankfully, we have air conditioning! It was a wonderful weekend and a time of seeing many, many, many relatives.

Reprimanded

I recently asked my daughter to blog about an event in her life. I also commented to her and to my other kids that they don't blog much anymore and about how much I miss it. Well, one of them reminded me that I hadn't blogged in over a year and that I didn't have much room to talk about people not blogging. I guess they put me in my place!

Our family had a fun "Father's Day" weekend camping at Clinton Lake. It was a perfect weekend for camping until Sunday Afternoon when the rain moved in. It was great getting together with everyone. We were missing only one person -- John. He wasn't feeling well so opted to stay at home.
