Family Reunion - Memorial Day Weekend 2006

Family Reunion 2006 kicked off about noon on Friday with the arrival of Philip Laci from Fort Polk in Louisiana. later that evening Lucille and Dwight arrived in a rented mini-van with John and Terry - John at the wheel. They had flown into DFW airport and made the two hour trek east to Mineola, Texas. Jim and Cathy played hosts to the reunion with yours truly assisting. The next morning Bob and Ranea arrived with Brian and Cayla tagging along.

Friday night we ate fresh-caught catfish cooked in cornmeal southern style and stayed up pretty late talking and then watching a movie.

Saturday morning after Bob and Ranea arrived we took a picnic lunch to the Mineola nature preserve and took a five mile walk through the park taking turns carrying my smaller children. Pictures of that are pending.

After returning, some took turns shooting pool in my dad's pool room while others watched a movie in the family room and still others stood around talking here and there. Later there were hamburgers grilled on the carport and an interesting incident at the picnic table which I shall not now relate. When we get the photos ready, the full story will be made available.

That's all for now. Look for further updates.
