Hello, this is Aunt Cindy.

I have uploaded our reunion pictures to photobucket and you can look at them by clicking here:

We didn't take very many pictures -- we were too busy talking.

Thanks so much to Alan, Rinda, and family for doing the reunion this year. This isn't an easy job under normal circumstances and they really did well with two changes in location -- one in the last week. We really appreciate all you did. It was a great reunion.

Thanks also to Curtis, Kristen, and family for the great Dutch oven dinner Friday night. It was so good and I know that they worked hard in the heat to get it ready for us; and even rehearsed by trying different chicken breadings etc. Thanks so much everything tasted wonderful. We very seldom have Dutch oven up here so it was so goo-ood.

Thanks also to so many of the rest of you who helped in various other ways.

And last but not least a big THANK YOU to Darlene and her family. She opened her home and yard with very little notice and I think her family had other things going on at the same time. But she smiled and took us all in calmly. I don't think we have ever let her know how much we appreciate how much of her life she devotes to her parents and family. She is truly an elect lady. (I put her down as my hero on my MySpace page.)

We are so glad we were able to come. It was great to be with all of you and especially Verl and Ada, they are such great examples and always give us an ideal to strive towards. Hopefully it won't be another three years before we get to another reunion.

We love you all, thanks for being there for us.
