Estate Sale & CornHole

Today Dan's family was together for a final estate sale. The family had divided the majority of the big stuff, but some things remained. Most of the children made it to the sale today. I am sure it was hard for them to see the items go, but the memories will remain forever.

My heart hurt seeing Grandpa's chair empty.


We gathered at Aunt Darla and Uncle Terry's tonight for a fish fry and we had a great time. Poor Aunt Sue had a rough night. Her first drink spilt, the second one fizzed over, then her lawn chair folded up on her. All the sisters hooted and hollared - but Sue was reedemed with her homemade ice cream. Then we played cornhole. Ever heard of it? It is really popular around here right now. It centers around bean bags and a hole on a slanted board - fun for all ages. And the winners were...our very own Dan and cousin Andrew...

The crowd gathered to watch...

The crowd again, really into the action...


This post is for you Sherri, knew you'd like to be here. It was a nice day, joyous in nature - God's presence was felt. How happy Grandma and Grandpa would be at their family enjoying each other.
