Saturday morning my mom treated us all to breakfast at the Fork and Knife restaurant. This photo shows David, Jill, and Lynn
Here is a nice picture of Mom, Kerry, Lori, and David (who is chewing)
An important task before us, since all five of Mom's girls were present, was to sort through boxes of papers and pictures. I got my report cards from high school (did I ever mention the fun I had in school???) and my baby shoes!
My sisters are camera shy and so didn't want to be in the pictures...Lori is holding a triple frame with Kerry, Jill, and me in it, my freshman picture
I am not camera shy, and posed in the midst of my stack of papers and pictures
The matriarch of the family, now that her sister has left this earth, is my mom, who supervised this project and was available to tell us who was who in some of the older photographs
After we were done with the picture sorting, Lori, Jill, me and Jill's son, Danny, went to have an ice cream treat at Berntsens's Candy Store and Ice Cream Parlor on the north side of Manty. Kerry had to leave for home and Lynn didn't feel like joining us. Berntsen's is located in a building where my former spouse and I used to be partners in ownership before we moved to FL. This treat was to hold us over until our group met two of my counsins for dinner at The Charcoal Grille. This photo shows Lori and David chewing their food!
My cousin, Jimmy, also not camera shy, is just a hoot! Our cousin, Barb, was not available for this dinner out but David and Jimmy were able to join us. Mom stayed home, not feeling well, so just the rest of us met. Such good laughs we had, both my cousins having amazing memories about dates and years. My, oh, my---remarkable!
David, Lori's husband, took this photo of the rest of us: Lori, Jill, Jimmy, me (wearing a pair of Badger Spirit Fingerz David brought from work at WinCraft), Lynn, and my cousin, David. David Schipper wanted to take a picture of me wearing the Fingerz while pretending to watch the Badger basketball game which was on TV at the time. They blended right into my outfit and became hard to see in the picture. We had such good laughs and great fun with my cousins---must do this again the next time I go to Manty!
