WONDERFUL WEEKEND WITH KIDS
Ronnie, Amy, and Lisa just left. They drove down on Friday evening to spend the weekend with Ron and me. It was such a wonderful weekend. Friday night we had pizza, of course. Then Lisa went out with friends. Amy, Ronnie, Ron and I played Blitz (the fun card game that Dad taught us this summer). Ronnie won.
Yesterday we drove up to Howard Prairie and had a picnic lakeside. Last night we barbequed porkloin and played cards again and Ronnie won again.
Today the men watched football all day. Amy and I went out to lunch and did a little shopping. When we came home we had some spaghetti and then they headed north back to Portland. Mostly we relaxed and visited. It meant so much to me that they came down to Ashland.
P.S. That beautiful Lexus the kids left in is Ron and Amy's new car.

FIRST COUSIN'S REUNION
Last weekend we drove south to Placerville for a reunion of just my first cousins and their parents. We really welcome this opportunity to be with the generation that went before us. Also I was taking my dad to meet up with my sister and then to go on to spend time with my brothers this next month.
Anyway the reunion was a great success. We stopped by Aunt Betty's and Uncle Jack's Friday afternoon. Then Dad stayed with them and we went to Carol's. She and James were kind enough to put Ron and I up for the entire weekend.
We were joined there by most of my cousins on Saturday and Sunday. We took lots of pictures and even interviewed the older generation on video. It was so very special. I am including some photos of this wonderful event.
