A LOVING FAMILY

a time of giving and receiving love

I spent the last couple days at the annual Methner Family Reunion..... and it was GREAT FUN.

The reunion on my Grandma's side of the family is a 4 day event... Some bring their campers and tents and stay the entire time. Cousin Sidney opens up her home and property to everyone. Groups are assigned to prepare meals and KP duty. Fun activities...Canoe Trip, Cooking Classes, Campfires, Singing, Silent Auction, Home-made Ice Cream, Lots of Baked Goods, Volley Ball, Family Group Picture, Swimming, BB Gun Target Practice..... something for everyone!!!

LOTS OF LAUGHING, STORY TELLING and LOTS OF LOVE TO GO AROUND.

There were 68 family members present at the time of the Group Picture - they ranged in age from 6 weeks to 96 years old!!!

At the silent auction we were blessed to take home a few treasures.... a CD with songs from Uncle Franklin (my favorite great-uncle!!!).... old aprons from Great-Grandma Mina.... Pillow cases made by Great-Grandma Mina with Tatting added to edges from Great-Grandma Geiling - WHAT A TREASURE!!!

Hope you enjoy the following slide show ... a few pictures of our happy time with family!!!
