...Over the Weekend...

...we got up fairly early...haha...we'd had a late night of card playing and visiting...and went and picked up The Airman's Wife...we had breakfast first...but neither I nor my sissie snapped a single photo...very unusual...I know...

...but then we packed up the car...and left on schedule...

...I snapped a photo of the mountains as soon as they came into view...as I always do...

...we arrived at the fellowship hall early...so we had a little bit of time to peruse the many years of reunion photos before the festivities began...

...here are a few blasts from the past...

...the Man and I in an 'engagement' reunion photo...I'm showing off 'the ring'...haha...and I'm only posting a photo of him because I think he's unrecognizable..hahahaha...

...this one is from one of the 'picnic' reunions...I'm on the left in front of Granddaddy...not sure where the Man is...he must have opted out...and we noted in the scrupulous notes for each reunion's attendees...that the Man is sometimes listed as in attendance but (not pictured)...

...and a funny thing about that sundress...Sissie and I were talking on the way home about the fact that I have clothes that are over 20 years old that I still wear...and here's photographic proof...I still have that sundress...and I still wear it...haha!...

...this is not from the photo albums...but definitely a blast from the past...I love it...

...my sweet Mom was one of the organizers again this year...so she made the announcements of births, deaths, marriages, etc...

...and then it was time to queue up and eat...

...the delicious Hot for Food Pasta salad..

...my overfilled plate of vegan food...

...Sissie's baked beans, a chick pattie from home...a container of vegan squash casserole my Mama made especially for me...green beans (yellow ones really) from her garden...pasta salad...Mom's coleslaw...and corn...

...now...my overfilled dessert dish...Sissie's Dr. Pepper chocolate cake...she took a cake mix and added a Dr. Pepper...that's all...and it was so moist and delicious...a couple of brownie bites...and some fruit...

...the entertainment...

...when we got back to Mom's it was pool time...this is the deck that we built last year...

...the water was 'refreshing'...as Mom says...or 'cold' as The Airman's Wife says...definitely fun though...especially the slide now that it's been moved to the deep end...

...we got up early to pick some fresh veggies from the garden...this is the same view of Mill's Knob that I always post...it's so pretty...Mom recently had some dirt added to the bottoms to fill in some low spots so the grass is just starting to grow back there...

...Mom and Sissie hard at work...not really it was a fun and relaxing morning in the garden...

...which is absolutely gorgeous...I was wishing there was okra on these plants...

...there was plenty of squash though...

...Sissie snapped a photo of me picking beans...

...the loot...

...then it was time for the delicious vegan brunch...we tried the Amy's sausage that we made a special trip to Earth Fare (the original one in Asheville...impressive)...but we were not too impressed...Mom's vegan biscuits and gravy...plenty of fruit and my sweet brother's coffee...

...some playtime...

...and Mom went up in the barn loft to get this sweet baby rocker to give to The Airman's Wife...

...and then we packed up the car and headed home...it was a great weekend full of fun and family...

~Wishing you a lovely start to your week!
