got my seafood salad ready to take for the potluck

        Now Suzie has been doing the geneology for years and the Stere family has approximately  1050 descendants from the original Joseph Stere date back to the mid 1800's. Suzie's Gramma (98 yeras old) is one of 13 in the family. Only two of her sisters are still surviving and they are there as well.

          Now mid afternoon the family reunion winds down so back to our coach at Ben and Darla's, Get to relax in the shade with our books for a bit.

           Until they returned for their motorcycle cruise and offered Suzie a ride. So on with the helmet and away her and Ben went. Perfect day for a tour. They did some wonderful local countryside on a perfect day.

        Then back home he fired up their BBQ (not a Weber but it worked) and grilled 4 monster burgers and fresh kaiser buns, fully dressed, potato and macaroni salad on the side, they were AWESOME. Don't think we need to eat for a week after this weekend. Thanks Ben and Darla for being such wonderful campground hosts and friends !

so tasty homemade burgers

        There ya go another busy day to wind up a very busy weekend. Thanks so much for dropping by to have fun with us and hope you enjoyed this fantastic weather as well.
