Reunion Time Is Fast Approaching

I have to start off with apologies to any readers I still might have for not posting anything for a long time.  The days have simply whirled by in the past month or two, with preparations for the reunion, managing my part in the remodel, and the typical springtime demands of home and yard.

Today, May 20, is going to be the big "reveal", as they same on HGTV.  We're in Illinois, at a hotel, heading over to the farm when we leave here.  I feel nervousness for this milestone where I thought I would feel only excitement.  The house renovation and remodel is, except for minor work, DONE!  I hope we like it!  It's been a long slog, and pretty tough at times, this remodeling from a distance.  I don't recommend it, and without Internet I think it would have been impossible.  So, a shout out to technology!, and gratitude for living in this day and age.

The reunion will take place a week from today!  A large number of family members will be attending from such far away states as Washington, Oregon, Colorado, and California, as well as from Missouri and Illinois.  It is going to be so much fun!, reconnecting and, in some cases, meeting each other for the first time.  My husband and I have been working hard on this event to make it as much fun as we can and we are super excited about it.  We have a great BBQ menu, and a bunch of games for kids and adults, and we truly are anticipating an event filled with fun and family love for the Love family!
