Family Supper
Thursday, January 28
Left to right: Dale, Dot, Clair, Anne, Marlin, Nancy, Chelsey (Marlin & Nancy’s daughter), Brenda, Steve, Velma (our stepmother), and Cerwin.
Our gracious stepmother usually has the five children (and spouses) she acquired when marrying our dad, for an annual meal. We look forward to it, because it is one of the rare times we siblings get together without lots of children and grandchildren. Our mother died in 1974 (this would have been her eighty-eighth birthday), and Daddy died in 1997.
The meal was delicious and the conversation lively and fun. I have three brothers Dale (red shirt), Clair (light blue shirt), and Steve (brown shirt with back to camera). My only sister, Nancy, is in the plaid jacket on the right.
My brother Clair is partially hidden in this picture, and I should have used the one where he was not hidden, but had a mouthful of food, because of what he did to me. However, I opted to be kind to him. 
Because I am always the one taking pictures, Clair decided there are never enough pictures of me, so he grabbed my camera and proceeded to take pictures – from every angle.
The more photos he took, the more everyone laughed – including me.

They were sure I would not post them – so I am proving them wrong.
