The top post on the blog for the past week was a whiny screed composed by yours truly. Since I am currently not linking to blog posts on Facebook, it probably didn't pass in front of many eyeballs. Fortunately.
Last weekend my uncle and aunt hosted a big family party at their lake house. Of the 31 members of my dad's side of the family, 27 were in attendance, including folks who flew in from Arizona and New Jersey. Ryan and I stopped (with several relatives) to visit our grandfather in
his nursing home on the way up to the lake, so we saw 28 of 31 family members that day.
I always enjoy a family reunion, but adding in the lake venue and the lovely weather resulted in a nearly perfect day. There were half a dozen kids at the party and I suspect that it is not kosher to post photos of them on an unprotected site, so I have posted only photos that do not include minors.
A big thank you to Uncle Pat/Pman and Aunt Norleen for being fabulous hosts!
First lesson of the day: Everyone loves a jet ski. So much fun.
