Washington DC

This past weekend we headed up to the DC area for Dave Grossman's wedding. It was a lovely event, and the rain managed to hold off just long enough for them to have their ceremony outside as planned. We got some time with Jim and Dawn as well. We took some pictures at the wedding, but naturally, I left that memory card at home this morning. I'll try to remember to post some pics.

Family Reunion

Tom and I met with some of the Behrens' side of the family at the Cumberland Mountain State Park at the beginning of June. We gathered here 22 years ago, and now there are 2 more cousins, and everyone's grown up.

We visited the family cemetery - mostly to visit Grandma Lottie, but also it was nice to show Tom the names of so many of my family members. We learned of a few more folks that have passed more recently. And Dad reminded me of who a lot of folks were, and how the family tree looks - it's a big family, and understandably hard to keep straight.

Burgess Family Cemetery

We also spent time at the state park. A lot of the family time was spent playing a game that is (unfortunately) called cornhole. It is good fun. I'm quite awful. Uncle Jeff is the best trash-talker I've ever been around. It's like he's a trash-talking prodigy.

Wilbur Buds!

Hey folks... (and especially Wilburs) there were some fun familiar sights in the coverage of Obama's visit to the Wilbur Chocolate Factory in Litiz earlier this week.

Photos, and a story, and another story

This was apparently covered on MSNBC on Joe Scarborough's morning program, but Tom looked and hasn't seen it or been able to find the video online.

Thanks Aunt Sue for pointing it out to us!
