Happy birthday Deb! It was fun to celebrate with Deb at the reunion. She is a ‘Violet’ cousin. I even wore my violet bracelet in her honor. Her friend Maria from Charleston sent her a goodie box, and she wore her sash and crown in honor of the occasion.
I was excited when Kelly called me early this morning and was on her way up. So she and I and Logan went to the reunion together. We had a super nice turnout! Best attendance we’ve had in a number of years. We were all missing Judy – she was sort of the glue who inspired us all.
There was such a wonderful variety of yummy food – from salads to meats to pasta and potatoes to a sinful amount of desserts! It was really difficult to decide what to choose. After lunch we had the basket raffle. Kelly & I both gave Logan a strip of tickets, and he put them all in the same basket. We were all thrilled when he won. It was a 110th anniversary celebration Oreo pack, including backpack! Kelly & I didn’t win anything, but I think Sarah and Millie won several baskets. Millie won a Frozen kite!
Kelly had brought some work with her, so about 3pm we left the reunion and came home to get things accomplished. Logan was hungry about 6pm so his choice was Giannilli’s pizza. Brian stopped up and got my older mower; the one that keeps shutting off. Thankfully I have the other mower to take care of the lawn. Kelly & Logan left about 8:30 and should just be getting home and unpacked. It was a lovely week with Logan – I hope he wasn’t too bored and can remember his week fondly!
August 13 – Did you have any favorite family songs that you sang together? “Dad sang songs from World War II: ‘K-k-k-Katie’ & ‘How you gonna Keep Them Down on the Farm after you seen Par’ree.’ Grandma Crooks liked ‘The Old Rugged Cross.’ Mom played & we sang ‘Bring them in.’ Uncle Edd’s favorite song was ‘God will Take Care of You.’ ” I know Mom loved music and especially the hymns.
