Reunion

The McClendon family reunion was last Saturday.  The weather cooperated big time.  We gathered at Patsy and Gary Wayne’s house this year.  They had an in ground pool, plenty of concrete for the kids to draw on, ride on and generally play on and a zip line.  They also had shuffleboard and billiards for the grownups.  How cool is that?  

The last two years have been at Don and Dana’s place.  I did miss the river and being able to walk to the pond.  If we could somehow mash them up together, we would have the perfect spot. 

Of course, the food was great as always.  We did well this time.  There was plenty of meat left but the side dishes were pretty much gone by the time everyone headed out.  Usually, we have a lot left over.  Brenda made a coconut pie because she and I both like it so if she had to bring it home, it wouldn’t go to waste.  Right.  It was gone shortly after she set it out.  People were eating it before they ate supper.  She probably should have made two.

It was good to hear the children; a little sobering to realize we are our parents now.  Still, these are the times that stay with you.  

Good looking bunch
