The Best of Days

We are truly blessed to have such a wonderful family and once again we were able to count our blessings yeaterday. The weather cooperated, much better than today. Thanks to everyone for coming and joining in. Thanks to Jay and JoAnn for hosting at the compound and doing the cooking and picture taking, Jan for meal planning (lots of good food and too much) Jon for the games ( fun to watch the competitiveness and the way the older grandchildren helped the younger ones to know what to do) Jean for the awards ceremony and a few good laughs and to whoever arranged the golf matches. I'm not sure who had a hand in it but give yourselves a hand anyways. The swimming was great and I think everyone had a good time and cousins got to know each other a little better. To illustrate a point, Carolyn had a pink golf ball and I asked her where she got it , she said that red headed boy gave it to her. I said you mean Justyn and her reply was I know Justyn Grandma. No it was that other red headed boy. Way to go J.D. Kerry and Monica were about to celebrate birthdays. Sorry we forgot to mention it. Nano enjoyed the day and everyone took time to talk to her and make her day. She slept real well last night. Thanks again for making it such a memorable day. We hope this will continue to be a tradition. Even though we don't always get to celebrate holidays together at least once a year its fun to enjoy each others company. Thanks again to all of you and kudos to all 54 of you that were able to make it. For the ones that couldn't you were in our thoughts and hope to see you in 09. Grampa St.Croix was an only child. What a legacy. Love and Thanks for Family.
