Saturday, June 22nd, Ray trekked out to east Texas for the 91st annual family reunion. Here's his group - they are from the Cleo connection. Many of the other family units boost a lot more people. Ray figured there were over one hundred people there for the Sunday BBQ feast.
My tradition is to NOT go - too darn hot. The past two years I did drive Ray's folks for the Sunday meal, so they could visit. Last year was the official 90th and that was special. This year, the heat was going to be even crazier and the folks mobility has gone downhill.
Thus, I had friends over and floated in our pool for "Sangria Sunday". Ray enjoyed all of his cousins, etc. He did win the 42 domino tournament. Rah! Son Kevin's volleyball team won. So a good time had by all. And Ray had a big card signed by various family members to present to Ray's folks, so they were thought of and remembered.
Another reunion is on the books.
Hi Joanne - great post - and how fortunate you were able to stay home and enjoy your pool Sangria Sunday ... loved the card idea. Dominos ... cheers Hilary
