Family Reunion


This weekend we had our Strader Family Reunion. It's the first one we've had in years! I can't remember the last time I had soo Much fun with everyone!
It was so nice to be able to catch up with everyone and to meet the new additions to the family. It was hot and sticky but we all enjoyed it anyway. I LOVE having a big family. We took up six or seven camp sites and everyone would just float from one place to another and sit and talk and then we'd move on. Then on Saturday night we had a potluck and everyone came and we sat in a big circle and just hung out and talked! With everyone living all over Indiana and the United States and ,obviously, having their own families and busy lives, it's hard to get so many of us all together but it was so worth it and I thinkthat everyone agrees, we'd love to do this every year!!

ok...umm...let's try this again...

Ok so wow, I can't believe it's been a year since we(my sister and I)starting this blog...Obviously we really got nowhere...guess it's not as easy as i thought...writing down thoughts and ideas that maybe a lot of people will see...but i am determined.. I LOVE writing...I truly believe that someday i'll have a best seller or a movie that someone will want to produce...so i figured that now i will just continue to work on my writing skills and just give thoughts and hopefully finally get this thing up and running. :)
