A lot of relatives

31 of 41.7 great grand children

This is what summer is about!  It takes power but tipping it over is FUN

prayer before the noon meal on Saturday

17 of 25 living grand children (oldest is 47--youngest is 24?)

There were about 75 people at the gathering.  Times like that are precious and far between.  Terry, I and family prepared the Saturday evening meal.  We served about 20 pounds of sloppy joes, about 10 pounds of pasta salad, soda (pop for some) and 5 watermelons!  There were leftovers.
We have had rain the last few days so the garden and lawn are looking great.
Today we will see Norma and Wayne.  Norma was Terry's legislative assistant when she was in the MN senate.  I am not sure I am labeling Norma correctly but I do know that Terry says she was a terrific help to her.  They are such great people and we see them at least once a summer.  It will be lunch at their place at noon.
I got my bike ride in this morning.  Still not long but it was 7 miles so that is not too bad.  I almost feel guilty as riding that bike is so easy.  I rode through the SPA campus and I know the boys would not know where they were if they walked through it.  I don't know how many $$$ they have spent but I am sure it is many many many millions.
In the pictures above I know all the grand children but the great grand children, no way.  I can kind of know what parents they belong to but even that is a stretch.
No it is on to some projects before we leave, the FP was great today.
