We had a good reunion

 

Gosh... I can't believe it was a year ago we had the second annual Turner family reunion. Here it is again and we were up early to get our pork ribs in the oven. Sherri had the marinade ready and we put the ribs in to soak for some time.

We got our coffee and went outside to set and enjoy the cool temps. It has been cool here in the morning this month but we know that right around the corner will be June...July and August and the temps will soar into the upper 90's and 100's. We will enjoy the outside while we can.

Sherri popped the ribs in the convection oven and we once again went outside to relax. While outside I got the grill ready to give the ribs their last basting and blacken the meat a little.

We went down and visited with Rodney and Becky for a while. The conversation turned to retirement and when and where we would be going. That time is not too far off now and we get excited when we start thinking about it. We are making plans now so we will have some idea which way we will be headed when we take off.

I looked down at the time and noticed it was time to take the ribs out and place them on the grill outside. We said our good-byes and see-ya-later to Rodney and Becky...headed to the RV and finished up the ribs for the reunion.

We planned on getting there about 11:00 but as usual we procrastinated long enough to arrive well after that time. Everyone was there when we backed down into the yard. We have the reunion at Beth and Jeff's property in Myrtle Springs. We have been lucky for the last three years to have good weather. We set up under the giant oak trees adjacent to their home. Many of the family bring large fans to keep the air moving and in turn keep the fly's running for cover.

 

The day went by with many stories and good food. The kids fished the pond down from the picnic area. They caught some fish which are all catch and release. Laughter was not in short order this day. We all had so much fun and when it was time to say our good-byes we left with anticipation of next years gathering...
