Family Fun Fest.......

Hi Everybody!!! What a glorious Saturday it is in Mid-Michigan!!
Today, My little brother Mark is down visiting me from Oscoda Michigan.
Oscoda is about 135 miles North of here on the shores of Lake Huron.
I say "little" even though he is 47, and retired from the U.S. Air Force.
We are quite close, and when he was in the military he was deployed to Kuwait,
His son Kurtice stayed with me, and went to my children's High School with them!
Anyway, our family reunion is today, and Him, myself, and my other little brother Dennis,
are travelling to Pontiac together to wreak havoc on the rest of our cousins and aunt's and uncles!!!
I'm very excited about going to it, since the only other time we all get to see each other is funerals and weddings. We are bringing a pass around dish, my brother Mark is making Jambolaya. ( he was going to use smoked sausage but I got up early and went to the City Mkt and bought some home made Andouille Sausage for him to use...Family Reputation you know!)
Me? I'm making my World Famous Hot Sausage Baked Beans !
Enjoy This Great Day. ... Peace!!

I am starving for some of that, but seems I will have to make the event on my own, and invite people, and go throught he all cooking and receiving stuff this summer... Oh! Well... It is about time some of us, youngsters (hummm) take the lead for such moments... ;-))

Searabbit,
Thats EXACTLY what you have to do about such things.
often times when a Matriarch of the family dies or becomes ill, no one wants to take on the initiative of taking over family history and traditions...Maybe this should be you. Thanks Jo, have a good one..xox

Missy,
Maybe in another life, I was a Cajun..Ooooheeeee!!

Lisa.....
Galen in Sausageland?
Sounds Like a Frank Zappa Album!!

Little Wing,
You too with the sausage?
My HOT sausage?
Hahaha...More like Vienna Sausage!
But thanks for the thought..xoxoxox

There are ALWAYS good times to be had at a family reunion!
At least at mine there are--though I'm sure your family is just as rascally if they are anything like you. ;) :P

Morgetron....
Missy, just HAD to beat me, even after SignGurl had unbeknownst to me, added her to my blogroll!
What gratitude!

morgetron said...

Missy's good. She's damn good. Oklahomans are known for their furious fingers. I know how much you like being on top, Big Boy. Maybe next time The Cherries will email you.

Be sure to read the responses I left on The Big Three. I think I might be insane.
