Friday evening, July 12

While Bob and Cerwin were getting things together to go Sturgeon fishing on Saturday, Doris and I prepared for their Friday evening family night – which was planned for our benefit – so we could see their son’s families, and they could visit with us.

They also have two daughters – Juanita in Indiana and Judi in Wisconsin.

Chicken and waffle supper.

It looks like Jaden prefers his waffles with syrup and butter.

We got all twelve in the sleeper of the truck – and decided that this won’t work in ten years – or probably even in five years.

Let’s see if I can get the names right: Loraine, Jaden, Alisha, Japheth Jr., and Jeremiah

This list of names is even more challenging: David, Lynne, Violet, Wayne, Lily, Dietrich, and Andre. (Andre reminds me a bit of our grandson Jared.)

Each one pulled the air horn before leaving the cab.

Japheth and Aimee’s Children are: Japheth Jr., Jeremiah, Loraine, Wayne, Jaden, Lynne, Violet, and Lily. Jon and Jen’s Children are: Alisha, Andre, Dietrich, and David

They wanted to do silly faces.

While the others were preparing to play, Dietrich was trying to grab leaves from the tree.

It looks like Jeremiah is organizing something.

Loraine asked Grandma Doris if she could gather fading rose petals for potpourri.

Soon several others wanted to help.

The boys had fun with the swing.

Wayne and Andre tried to avoid a giggling Dietrich each time he came forward.

Books were popular after they came inside.
